Students build gates to stop anti-social behaviour
Joinery students have been building wooden gates for homes on a town's housing estate as part of a police project to tackle anti-social behaviour. White wooden fences built by those learning the trade at Burnley College have been put up on the front porches of properties to deter people from gathering outside. PC Chris McKee of Lancashire Police said older homeowners on the estate, the location of which has not been revealed, had been concerned about young people "gathering, drinking and smoking" outside their homes and making them feel unsafe. He said the students efforts were a "great example of the local community coming together to tackle anti-social behaviour". PC McKee said the force was also stepping up patrols and working with the housing provider on the estate to install extra security. David Lord, head of construction and engineering at Burnley College, said the students were excited to be part of the project, which can be incorporated into the curriculum. He said it had been an "ideal opportunity for them to put their skills and knowledge into action and create something which will really make a difference to the lives of others". The project was funded by LANPAC, the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime. Listen to the best of BBC Radio Lancashire on Sounds and follow BBC Lancashire on Facebook, X and Instagram.
