Police are cracking down on drug taking and drinking in three east Leeds parks, following complaints from members of the public.
Officers say they’re conducting “high-visibility patrols” in Rocket Park in Allerton Bywater, as well as in Barley Hill Park and Glebelands Park, both of which are in Garforth. Police said all three sites have been the focus of complaints about youth anti-social behaviour of late.
The news was revealed in a report which went before a Leeds City Council community committee on Tuesday. It said West Yorkshire Police were “working to address” people’s concerns over the problems.
