Our local corner shop has finally had an Asbo slapped on the local youths in our area to stop them intimidating and harrassing them, after years of abuse and violence. The local residents rose up and named and shamed the miscreants in court. All seems peaceful now at the shop: there are no youths smoking at the doorway, yelling at each other, begging for money, getting drunk, shouting abuse and fighting.
It appears though, from the gang insignia freshly scouring the estate’s walls that they’ve simply moved elsewhere.
