Life next to 'dangerous' Hyson Green park where neighbours 'too scared to leave house at night'

People living next to a Nottingham skatepark have told of their life on the road where they are "too scared to leave the house at night". A community in Hyson Green said they can hear people congregating late at night and setting fires at the Maples Street Skate Park.

Malcolm Heaton, who lives just next door from the park, said: "It is getting worse during winter because it gets dark very early. I have had my courtyard broken into once, and some people stole my motorbike.

"I have pulled out the motor, I always keep it out in case it gets stolen. They could not get too far."
