A green space in Bateman Gardens is a hot spot for litter, say neighbours
Residents in Hyson Green have expressed their concerns about a green space that attracts litter and drug users. Pictures show household items, furniture, and bin bags fly-tipped on the green space next to Bateman Gardens, while residents have reported seeing needles and bottles as well.
“There are many people sitting there all the time and sometimes they’re making noise, using bad language and starting physical fights between each other. There are quite a number of them. "My main concern is my son playing around that area with other kids when he's at my parents'. They're just doing what kids do - playing football, cycling, and it's just dangerous for them. There are loads of kids who live in that area.
