There's nowhere left for them to hide.
Cutting down overgrown bushes and trees has helped lead to a decrease in trouble from youths in a south Glasgow park as there is nowhere to hide.
Teens have been drinking and causing noise in Auldhouse Park in wooded areas. But now that shrubs have been chopped by the council fewer problems are being reported to the police. There have been long-standing issues with anti-social behaviour in the park and ongoing efforts between the police and council continues to crackdown on it.Welcoming the work being carried out in the green space, Councillor Sean Ferguson, SNP, said it “has led to a reduction in reports of antisocial behaviour.”Speaking after the meeting, councillor Ferguson who represents the ward said: “I welcome the recent pruning works at Auldhouse Park.
He added: "I also welcome the recent update from Police Scotland notifying the Newlands Auldburn Area Partnership that there has been a tangible reduction in reports of antisocial behaviour within the park – thanks in part to some of the wooded areas, where the incidents tended to take place, being pruned or cut back. I would urge constituents to report any future incidents to Police Scotland.
The work in the park has been ongoing throughout the winter and was needed as many of trees and plants had spread. Elderberry was among the shrubs that have been pruned. Self seeded Sycamore and Ash trees have been cut down to allow other plants to grow.Glasgow council win fight to buy pigeon infested flat used as cannabis farmGlasgow school pupils demand to go to the toilet during class
