I've just watched the above programme on BBC Iplayer (first shown last night) which covers anti-social behaviour in Hemlington and it doesn't paint the area in a very good light. It showed The Gables getting its windows smashed on several occasions and another resident having his windows smashed whilst he was in the house. I attend a woodturning group in Hemlington and have witnessed some of this behaviour first hand.
Tonight in the Gazette, there is a picture of a pensioner's home with green netting in front of his windows to prevent stones from hitting them. No one deserves to be afraid in their own home and this needs tackling.
Obviously, Hemlington is not the only area to suffer this from kind of behaviour and I am sure each and every one of us has experienced it in some form but why should we have to put up with this.
