Fed up residents on a Leeds estate say they’re at the end of their tether with antisocial behaviour and claim the area is being used as a “dumping ground”. , near Morley, is being ravaged by troubles created by some of the tenants placed there by Leeds City Council, a committee meeting was told on Monday.
The estate is home to a mixture of social housing tenants and privately owned properties. One local councillor said legal action was underway to evict one problem resident, amid suggestions ambulance staff were blocked while trying to respond to an emergency on the estate last week.
The council itself would not confirm whether or not an eviction process had been started, but insisted it investigated all cases of anti-social behaviour on the estate “thoroughly”. Speaking at the council’s outer south community committee, on which councillors from Morley, Ardsley and Rothwell sit, one resident said the issues had been going on for too long.
