Some of those living in Hucknall say they "would not dare" go out in the town at night after hundreds of residents were recently sent letters from police about anti-social behaviour. The Ashfield Police team recently said it had been conducting foot patrols around certain areas of Hucknall following "numerous reports" of drug activity.
During these patrols, a large knife was recovered from The Ranges Park. The police team said they had sent letters to 200 people in the Hucknall North and Hucknall Central areas detailing how to report issues such as drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.
