"Initial warning letters have been sent to those whose behaviour is not acceptable, and we have made it clear that we will deal with and further antisocial behaviour in a robust way.

"We have dealt with a small number of drug offences and have patrolled with the area with the support of drug sniffer dogs.

"We have observed an improvement in the behaviour of young people in this area and calls for service are well down. We do still receive occasional calls, so will continue with this priority until the problem is completely resolved."
