Residents and business leaders in a crime-plagued neighbourhood say they are living through a 'pandemic of anti-social behaviour', revealing they are hiring private security guards to keep them safe. Terrified families in a part of Merseyside have spoken of their ongoing battle with local gangs.
People living on Leominster Road in Liscard, Wallasey, say their once quiet street is being plagued by brazen Balaclava-clad yobs who have spent months terrorising the area. Criminal and anti-social behaviour has led to the destruction of cars and intimidation of residents.
Now, following pleas for help to both Merseyside Police and Wirral Council, people living on the road are bringing in their own drastic reinforcements in a bid to get rid of gangs that regularly patrols the streets near Central Park in the Wirral neighbourhood.
