The leader of the council covering Beeston says "patience is at an end" with anti-social behaviour in the town as police report a significant reduction in incidents. Nottinghamshire Police has been working alongside partners including Broxtowe Borough Council to crack down on Beeston's anti-social behaviour issues.

Describing the problems in Beeston, Broxtowe Borough Council's Labour leader, Milan Radulovic, said: "You've got whole gangs of young kids who watch one episode of Gangs of London and think they rule the roost.
