Northampton estate targeted for clean-up as part of drive to tackle anti-social behaviour

Overgrown vegetation, litter and unsafe seating have been removed from a Northampton estate as part of efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour.

West Northamptonshire Council has been working alongside the Probation Service's Community Payback Team to improve the Bouverie Estate.

The work forms part of the Clear, Hold, Build programme, which aims to improve neighbourhoods affected by crime and anti-social behaviour.

Teams have cleared litter, cut back vegetation and removed old wooden planters and seating identified as safety concerns.

The council says the improvements are helping create a cleaner, safer environment for residents.

Further work is planned across the estate in the coming weeks.
