Youth disorder in Rosemount 'ruining lives'
Published: 8th Nov 2010 09:30:30
Residents of Rosemount in Londonderry have claimed their lives are being ruined by anti-social behaviour.
It comes as a 19-year-old was charged with disorderly behaviour following incidents at Osborne Street and Baldrick Crescent on Friday night.
Other teenagers were taken home by the police.
Some residents say they are losing hope that a solution can be found to long-standing problems in the area such as underage drinking and vandalism.
One woman told the BBC she has had enough and wants to leave the area.
"I'm totally fed up. I've a young grandchild who can't get to sleep at the weekend," she said.
"I used to love Rosemount but I hate it now. If I could sell my house tomorrow, I would - that's how bad it is."
