Problem youths – Parents want public meeting
11th March 2005 BY JACK HUNTER Weston Mercury
Police are to launch a crackdown on youths causing havoc on a Locking Castle estate.
A large number of young people gathered and caused trouble in the Maltlands area at the weekend. "A number of youths were arrested and taken to the police station. They were released pending a decision on further action.
"We will give the area extra attention with high profile policing, particularly at weekends. " said a police spokesman. "If the issue doesn't die down in the coming weeks we will consider using a dispersal order, in consultation with North Somerset Council.
North Somerset councillor Andy Wright said: "Parents have been asking whether a public meeting could be organised to talk about the issue. There's obviously quite a bit of concern about it."
