Concerned residents are invited to a meeting in Frizington to discuss anti-social behaviour in the village.

More than 200 people signed a petition asking for a meeting to be held after "long term" problems.

Now, Arlecdon and Frizington Parish Council has announced members of the public will be able to share their views at St Joseph's Hall on Wednesday, October 25 at 7pm.

Cumbria's police and crime commissioner Peter McCall will meet with representatives from Home Housing, Impact Housing and Copeland Borough Council to discuss the issue.

Resident James Hall, who lives at Moor Place, backed the calls for a public meeting, saying the problem had "ruined lives".

He said: "There has been 15 years of anti-social behaviour at Moor Place and it's in all areas of the village now. People have had enough of it.

"We want authorities to start to take notice of the serious situation. It's gone on for too long."

The latest problems with anti-social behaviour were first brought to Arlecdon and Frizington Parish Council in May. It has been trying to bring the relevant authorities, including police and housing, together to discuss the issue.

In 2015, a retired couple, who had lived on Moor Place since the late 1970s, decided to sell their home because of ongoing anti-social behaviour.

The couple, who wanted to remain anonymous, said at the time: "We've had eggs thrown at the house and had teenagers staring through our front window, swearing at us.

"This used to be a lovely estate but it's gotten so bad in recent years that we will really struggle to sell our place."
