Got a little 'flyer' through the door today. Apparently I live in an area where I may experience

'Litter, rubbish & fly-tipping, graffiti & vandalism groups hanging around, nuisance neighbours, intimidation & harassment, rowdy behaviour, abandoned vehicles, street drinking, agressive begging, crack houses (I ask you) & drug dealers, prostitution & kerb crawling'
Phew.

So if you are having a typical Sheffield weekend you must now call 0845 605 2222

As if we don't have enough to do with our crack-dealing, car stealing, kerb crawling neighbours knocking on the door!

Anybody else got this letter?

:)
Got this in Hillsborough - guess it will be a city wide thing

I bet they didn't dare push them through letter boxes in Ecclesall Rd :o

Nah, I didn't get one. Nor did my parents up in Whirlow :hihi:

We got somthing similar a few months ago in the Wisewood area, left the bit out about crack houses and prostitutes though. Shame I was hoping for a little sex, drugs and rock and roll when I moved here a few years ago, looks like Glossop Rd is the place its all happening :D

I was just seeing who eles got one of these this morning like i did.
I like to know if anyone rang this number and got the problem sorted.
But i think i keep the number handy for when the druken chavs come to the park across from me and start to brawl and smash people windows like they did early hours in the morning the other day.

Who the hell is the letter from?

Sounds dodgy.

I think that's what 999 is for.

you'd be surprised..

"you do realise 999 is for emergencies, sir?" :roll:

got one too..stuck it on my wall cuz it looks funny

The leaflet is a joint initiative between the Police, Community Safety, Home Office and Sheffield City Council. It is to raise the awareness of the issues it lists and is a way of getting the word out there to report these issues on an easy to remember number. The leaflet was sent out at the end of February and it had a good response...but the responce has since quietened off ...so ......
If it applies to you then read it...if its not..dont.

Its to let you know something is being done to tackle Anti-Social behaviour in its many forms.

Sounds like alarmist nonesense to me. THC's got the right idea...

Isn't "being drunk and smashing windows" an emergency then?:confused:

brawling and criminal damage would qualify.

Fly tipping & drug dealing? Tar em all with the same brush, I say !!!!

Oh it's there alright,you just need to know which doors to knock on.....:hihi:

We got one the other day - I've rung the number to report the neighbours dog for barking all day whilst she's at work - also reported them to the RSPCA. That'll teach her for letting it poo all over the place and scaring my cat.
