Residents in Hucknall came together to combat issues caused by youths climbing and damaging their garden fences. There had been several reports of groups causing issues in Poets Close, Hucknall, as well as the Engine Rooms Leisure Facilities, adjoined to some homes on the close.
Some youths had been gaining access to the Engine Rooms grounds through Poets Close by climbing over residents' fencing, causing damage, as well as abandoning bikes in gardens. Residents said they had issues with parking and felt intimidated when they tried to confront those responsible.
Homeowners on Poets Close say they’ve had to all chip in as residents to replace the fences to put an end to the issue. Brian Matanda, 35, said that this has been happening since he moved to his property in 2018.
