Residents in Poulton village are calling for CCTV to be installed at Fisherman’s Square to curb anti-social behaviour in the area.
Scores of people have signed a petition, calling for both Lancaster City Council and Andrew Snowden, Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, to take action.
The petition claims that since the removal of plants in Fisherman’s Square, there has been an increased amount of noise, antisocial behaviour and vandalism, which has also increased due to a security camera being installed in the nearby Poulton play park.
The petition states: ‘’(We) would like to kindly ask the council and chief police commissioner of our area to start the process of installing CCTV to eradicate, or at the very least start to deter, vandalism, antisocial behaviour, drug dealing, the numerous violent incidents, the very uncomfortable feeling of intimidation for residents that feel powerless to fix this increasing problem, and lastly for visitors and general public.
‘’(We would like to see the ) removal of the gravel that has been installed in the raised rockery area. The gravel has been thrown all around Fisherman’s Square and surrounding areas, including resident car parks. (We) would also suggest a more robust planting scheme that is low maintenance.’’
