Talking to bar /cafe’s Hop & Scotch and Black Lab in Kings Heath today, I was made aware of some very disturbing anti social behaviour by a group of young people, including assaults on staff and intimidating behaviour targetted at businesses and at members of the public in the street. I have contacted the Neighbourhood Inspector and Sergeant and requested an urgent visit to these businesses and an update on the situation with these young people.
Businesses are at the hub of our communities. If their staff do not feel safe they cannot thrive.
Update 8th November: Pleased to get a response from the local police and to hear a dispersal order has been put in place.
