A supermarket has banned sales to groups of lads as a public meeting is called yobbish behaviour on a once peaceful estate.
Locals say staff at the Tesco Express store in Whitley Lodge, Whitley Bay, have been refusing to sell certain items to teenagers after residents suffered repeated attacks on their homes in which bottles, eggs and even a for sale sign were hurled at the properties.
And now people living in the Whitley Lodge and Brierdene areas of the town have been invited to discuss their concerns at a community meeting, on Thursday night.
