The issue of anti-social behaviour has been discussed at an event in Burntwood.
Representatives from Lichfield District Council, Staffordshire Police and local agencies met with members of the community for a workshop.
The session, held at Erasmus Darwin Academy, discussed the reasons behind anti-social behaviour in Burntwood and ways it can be reduced by identifying opportunities to provide more activities for young people.
More than 40 people took part in the session.
Yvonne James, principal community safety officer at Lichfield District Council, said:
“The event was a fantastic opportunity for the community and services to get together and discuss openly concerns regarding anti-social behaviour in Burntwood.
“Victims were able to have their voices heard, they spoke to relevant services in the area and all in all the community came together to solve a problem together.
“Rest assured we will now go through all the information and suggestions from the event and work at putting things in place to reduce the levels of anti-social behaviour. “

“It was great to see so many community groups and members of the public coming together by participating and sharing their thoughts on the issue of anti-social behaviour across Burntwood.
“Working in partnership with the police and the community to resolve the current anti-social behaviour taking place can only be a positive move and I look forward to seeing the outcomes of the session in due course.”
