The elected members of Ballina Town Council this week adopted a new antisocial behaviour policy this week, which they worked out in committee recently. The new policy, which has its foundations in a county wide policy, saw a number of different changes brought in by the Ballina councillors to address flaws and issues they thought were not covered sufficiently by the county wide document. As part of their policy there will be quarter yearly meetings between the Gardaí, the council, an the HSE to discuss items that arise. They have also included provisions that anyone who is in housing provided by another agency and are on the council’s housing list can be excluded from the list for 10 years following the issuing of an antisocial behaviour order.

It is always a worry to read about unprovoked attacks on people as it could be any of us. And this week alone there have been three violent assaults in the city.

Anti-social behaviour is having a huge impact on residents in local authority housing estates and action must be taken immediately to protect those affected, according to Senator Nicky McFadden.
