High Peak MP Robert Largan has organised a roundtable summit this week with shared accommodation provider Ark Housing, High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire Police and Derbyshire Fire & Rescue.
The local MP has called for the meeting following concerns raised by a number of Buxton residents about anti-social behaviour in areas with Ark Housing accommodation.
Last year, over 500 Buxton residents signed a petition calling for the Council to close Ark Housing down.
The meeting, due to take place this Wednesday (27 January), aims to bring together the Council and the emergency services to raise any concerns direct with Ark Housing, and to look at possible ways of moving forward and reducing any issues.
Robert Largan MP said:
“I’m pleased to have secured this meeting. This is a chance for everyone to get round a table and discuss how we can move forward and solve some longstanding problems.
“Lots of local people are really concerned about anti-social behaviour and drug use in certain areas. I hope that this meeting will be constructive and that we can all work together to make Buxton an even better place to live.”
