COUNCILLORS have voiced concerns over large groups of young people descending on a Scottish village.
Townhill, near Dunfermline, Fife, has seen groups of young people congregating in the woods at the end of one street with most passing peaceably. However, there are claims a small number have been aggressive and intimidating towards local residents – leaving the community feeling alone and vulnerable.
Speaking for Police Scotland, Inspector Tommy Stenhouse said police are “aware of some recent reports of antisocial behaviour in this area”. “Historically we have had groups of youths gather in Townhill woods, but that’s generally been local youths or youths from the Dunfermline area. But now with the nation-wide free bus pass it allows children to travel any distance they wish,” Ellis stated.
