A council is cracking down on anti-social behaviour and huge amounts of waste being left in a Nottinghamshire street. Ashfield District Council say that Outram Street in Sutton-in-Ashfield has become an "area of focus" for them after a number of reported incidents.
Outram Street, a busy shopping street, has a number of houses and businesses located on it and has recently had CCTV installed to try to deter against fly tipping. Council officials say their teams have been working "tirelessly" to tackle the anti-social behaviour issues and try to clean up the street.
Ashfield District Council said in a statement: "The Community Safety team has been working with businesses and residents of Outram Street to tackle waste problems and anti-social behaviour. The service road, off Outram Street in Sutton, has become an area of focus, seeing lots of excess waste making the road unsightly and attracting anti-social behaviour to the area.

"The team has been working tirelessly to improve the area and provide sustainable waste reduction and bin storage solutions for local businesses and residents. The area has also benefited from additional CCTV within the area which will be used to support the fight against fly tipping and anti-social behaviour, as well as provide reassurance and improve feelings of safety in the area.
"In April, community protection officers undertook eight business waste inspections, issued four community protection warnings, one community protection notice and two prevention of damage by pests under the 1949 act to address issues. We will continue to work with residents to help manage waste and to comply with the notices served."
