A Local Community's Success Story.

Blighted by crimes and anti-social behaviour and dismayed by the local council's indifferent disinterest, a local Independent councillor and the local community police sergeant worked with residents to raise money to purchase 1,049.5 feet of 2m high Palisade fencing.

The fencing was erected by the whole team over two bitterly cold weekends in December 2004 and March 2005. The result has been vastly increased security and an absence of crimes. This is Community Action at its best and most successful - achieved without the local council's participation or intervention. If you want to talk about doing the same for your own community please contact us.
