Youth problems on rise

THERE has been an 'eruption' of anti social behaviour in Winsford over the weekend with gangs of youths causing trouble for residents.

Mike Kennedy, chairman of the Grange Residents' Association, said: "We have had reports of 30 youths running up and down Moss Bank and round the estate.

"There were two windows broken on Friday evening with one of them at Grange Court residential home.

"There was an incident of a fire at a block of flats on Abbotts Way."

Judith Burbidge, Winsford area housing manager at Weaver Vale Housing Trust, said: "We are working with the community wardens and the Community Action Team to identify the perpetrators."

Anyone with information about the incidents can call 01606 813300.
