An unsecured, empty property at 21 Knole Road in Springbourne has attracted fly tipping, squatting and anti social behaviour that has made residents feel incredibly unsafe. Local Councillor Sara Armstrong met with Dorset Police and BCP Council officers to discuss the issue. In the absence of a response from the landlord and various notices served, BCP Council took legal action and took the landlord to task for the neglect of their property. Dorset Police attended on 15 July to board up the property and secure it to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents.
