TODAY I have had to email the council about increasing anti-social behaviour, drugs and rubbish at the children's play area on Woodlands and the footpaths from Wood End to Davies Road in Evesham.

On more than one occasion I have had verbal abuse thrown at myself from groups/gangs of older teens.

They also create so much noise and have music playing loud that it is getting ridiculous.

Drugs are also present and only this evening I was verbally attacked just because I was walking by and witnessed money and drugs being exchanged.

Add all of that to the amount of McDonald's rubbish that is constantly being strewn everywhere, Morrisons trolleys being dumped in the stream and footpaths and mini motorbikes and cars being driven on the grass. It is making the area an eyesore.

Something needs to be done about this otherwise it will just increase.

Rather than take matters into my own hands, I hope the council, McDonald's and Morrisons can come together to clean up this area.
