A NEYLAND resident has complained about youths 'urinating through the fence' at the town's artificial sports pitch.

A letter to the council from a local resident says groups of teenagers are using the MUGA (multi-use games area) unsupervised, with balls frequently being kicked over the fences, onto nearby cars and properties.

The youngsters are also "shouting, shrieking, using foul language and urinating through the fence onto the footpath where young families walk to school", it says.

The resident also says that supervised groups of adults and children are frequently urinating through the fence, and she has heard parents telling their children to "go behind a bush" rather than using a toilet.

She says the anti-climb paint put in place in the area "does not seem to be working", and suggests raising the net at the top of the goal by another 1.5metres to 2metres.

The issue will be discussed by councillors on Monday night.
