A 'day of action' has been taking place at the estate today
Police and fire officers have been visiting people on a Mansfield estate who have been dealing with anti-social behaviour "day in, day out" as authorities try and tackle the problem. Residents on the Oak Tree Lane Estate have previously told Nottinghamshire Live that it is sometimes a "nightmare" living there, with past incidents including firefighters being attacked with golf balls.
"What we have been doing is working with the community to hear about the problems being faced, identify offenders and carry out a lot of positive work in the area too. We have now started to see a decrease in some incidents but a lot of it is in the summer - we don't tend to get is as much in the winter and so we need to be mindful of that going forward in terms of keeping this positive action going.
The resident, who did not want to be named, had lived on the estate for 44 years and said: "Oak Tree was never like this when it was first built. They used to call the Bellamy estate nearby for being bad, but this is now much worse than Bellamy.
