ICA Letter to residents

This Type of letter sent to families creating serious antisocial behaviour, we had no confidence in Preston City Council taking any action whatsoever. Antisocial behaviour came well down on the list, certainly well below that of the collection of rent.
At one stage this would have been the only response that this type of behaviour was given.

Re: Disturbance Wednesday 11th February 2004

Dear Mrs

It has been brought to the Community Associations attention that on Wednesday 11th February at around about 2.00 o'clock, that yourself along with Mr *** caused distress to the residents of Barry Avenue. This distress was caused when you and Mr *** behaved in an antisocial manner in a public place.

The Community Association was formed last August with a mandate from the residents to pursue a policy to eliminate this type of antisocial behaviour which has detrimental effects on their lives.

I must point out that the Community Association has no legal powers, but acts as a voice for the residents, it has the ability to apply pressure on the City Council to be more active in its control over its tenants who do not comply with their Tenancy Agreement. I have enclosed a copy of the relevant paragraphs from the Tenants Tenancy agreement that refer to antisocial behaviour.

Your behaviour was totally unacceptable to all the residents and has been reported to the police who have raised a 'log' number for the incident; it has also been report to the Housing department. This Association will be seeking assurances from Mr *** of the Housing Department that this instance of antisocial behaviour is kept on their records for future reference.

Yours sincerely

Bill McGrath
