COMMUNITY wardens dealt with a total of 21 local antisocial behaviour issues in a month.
The Community Safety Report for October issued to Forres Community Council lists instances of vehicle abandonment, dog fouling, neighbour disputes, excessive noise, feeding vermin and "general rowdy behaviour".
Five vehicles were reported abandoned during the period: an agreement was made with an owner to move one from Romach Road; after investigations, two were found to have not been abandoned at Blaven Court; a vehicle was removed from Califer Road while investigations are ongoing; and investigations are also ongoing about one left at Forres Train Station.
Wardens put posters up and posted information leaflets following a report of dog fouling on Sanquhar Road.
They also dealt with four neighbour disputes in Forres. Enquiries are ongoing at Castlehill Road and Fleurs Crescent. Police are now investigating instances at Darwin Drive and Tailwell.
The antisocial behaviour team have been busy looking into reports of excessive noise. Enquiries are ongoing at Grant Road, Fleurs Crescent and Califer Road. Advice was given at Sheriffbrae and Granary Park regarding dogs barking. Advice was also issued at St Margaret's Court on another matter but there was no evidence found following a report of a dog barking at Mannachie Brae.
Advice was given to a resident of Roysvale Place who had been feeding seagulls.
Teams are looking into rowdy behaviour by youths in Califer, Pilmuir and Anderson Crescent. An issue with more rowdy behaviour at Castlehill Road has been passed to the police for investigation.
