Street Drinkers Finally Evicted

 

Montgomery Square in Wath-upon-Dearne is considered as welcoming, safe and clean by the majority of local people – but it hasn’t always been that way. Back in 2008 street drinking, property damage and antisocial behaviour caused problems for some residents.

They alerted local organisations and councillors to this and a three-year project, which is almost complete, was then put in place to improve the area. A street survey was initiated by Wentworth North Area Assembly to ask people what they thought of the area, what concerned them and how it could be improved.

Their opinions resulted in Montgomery Square becoming a Neighbourhood Action Group priority. Local police officers, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, 2010 Rotherham and Rotherham Wardens also interviewed residents about their experience of Wath town centre, showing three main concerns to be street drinking, youth nuisance and street scene.

Following the consultations it was decided that the police should serve an antisocial behaviour order (ASBO) to one elderly street drinker who attracted young people to congregate around him.
