Anyone see that story on the news about police forces not doing enough to tackle anti-social behaviour?

Police across the country are apparently failing to visit tens of thousands of families whose lives are made a misery by louts, according to a report from the Chief Inspector of Constabulary Denis O'Connor.

He says officers do not visit 23 per cent of victims who complain about anti-social behaviour.

For the record, the performance by Avon & Somerset police is rated fair.

How bad do you think anti-social yobbish behaviour is in Kingswood and are the police doing enough? Do you feel threatened when you go out?

Would you be prepared to confront a group of kids making a nuisance of themselves?

    Not really, but must admit I don't even walk under the underpass at Warmley in the light let alone at night :-)  That one is just too scary, low light, lots of writing, not very clean etc.

    'I now avoid every underpass in Kingswood and Warmley on a Fri night for the fear of a good stabbing' .
    This was a response on Twitter to my story. Anyone else feel that scared?
