Fireworks fired at motorists and cyclists on Abbeydale Rd

Apparently the police crackdown has been working - there has been a 60% reduction in the usual tomfoolery with fireworks in the Abbeydale Road area this year:

seems to have quietened down which is a good thing for everybody.

And SYP have given an award to the local neighbourhood group who got together to help sort out the anti-social behaviour:

Abbeydale award for reducing anti-social behaviour (10 March 2017)

 

Local community groups and services working together in Abbeydale have won an award for reducing anti-social behaviour.

 

South Yorkshire Police gave the Abbeydale Stakeholders group the award for partnership working in this year’s annual district ceremony after anti-social behaviour, which had been on the rise and was blighting the neighbourhood, reduced last year.

 

From 2013 to 2016 there had been an increase in incidents, and the seriousness of them, along Abbeydale Road from Highfield to Nether Edge. But this changed after the partnership group formed and developed an action plan which included more intelligence sharing, community work, closer working between youth services and an Autumn carnival and lantern parade which was attended by more than 350 people.

 

The result was a 23 per cent drop in anti-social behaviour between 23 October and 7 November last year, with a 60 per cent drop in firework-related incidents.

That's great news, thanks for posting vincentb.

 

I live not too far away, and the atmosphere really is much better. Thanks to the communities, the police, and the politicos. Those are words I don't get to say very often.
