People living on a Mansfield estate where firefighters have been attacked with golf balls fear new money to tackle the area's anti-social behaviour is a "drop in the ocean". Authorities including Nottinghamshire Police and Mansfield District Council are working together to bring down crime on the Oak Tree Lane estate.
Nottinghamshire Live has previously reported on people living in Oak Tree feeling intimidated by a spate of incidents. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that its crews were dealing with a fire started deliberately at the Oak Tree Heath when they were attacked with golf balls earlier this year.
Residents say that other recent incidents including doors being kicked in and people being beaten up in the street. Nottinghamshire Police, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue and Mansfield District Council will now be working together on an action plan for the Oak Tree Lane estate using £33,000 of funding that the council successfully bid for.
