Anti-social Behaviour.

Dear residents.

We are aware of ongoing incidents in Hollinswood involving individuals knocking on doors, kicking them, and throwing items at properties before running away.

For those on the receiving end, particularly elderly or vulnerable residents, this can be extremely frightening. Being targeted in your own home can cause genuine fear, distress, and anxiety. People have reported feeling unsafe, intimidated, and even afraid to answer their own door. This is completely unacceptable.

Actions such as kicking doors and throwing objects can amount to:

Those identified will be dealt with robustly. This may include:

We will actively pursue those responsible using CCTV, doorbell footage, and witness information.

Parents and guardians — please speak to your children. Make sure they understand that this behaviour carries serious consequences and will not be tolerated.

This type of conduct will not be dismissed as “just kids being kids.” It causes real harm, and we will take action.

Many thanks
