No ‘ASBO threat for partying pensioners’

Following the story in today’s Birmingham Mail, ‘ASBO threat for partying pensioners’, Birmingham City Council has issued the following statement:

“We takes matters of anti social behaviour seriously and following a number of complaints from residents at the Ash Grove Warden Scheme, which we are currently investigating, we felt it was necessary to remind all residents that abusive, threatening or intimidating behaviour towards their neighbours would not be tolerated.

“We have not threatened any of our residents with an ASBO, but we accept that the letter may be regarded as over zealous. We did not intend to cause our residents any upset or concern and we are sorry if we have. We remain committed to protecting their safety.

“Local housing staff are currently working with residents to find a solution to the issues they face.”
