A terraced house in Wigan where police were called to incidents involving neighbour abuse and window smashing has been given the green light to continue operating as a children's home. Despite having already been in operation for months, All Round Care Ltd have only just been given the go ahead to operate as a one-child unit in Worsley Mesnes.
This was against the wishes of one neighbour on Mottram Drive who claimed residents have been sworn at by children at the home ‘while the carer stood back and did nothing’. Swearing, banging and smashed window incidents led Wayne Young to report the home to police and Ofsted, he told Wigan Council Planning Committee on December 6.
“A number of incidents have occurred,” he told the town hall meeting during his speech objecting to the proposal.
