Wiltshire Police are asking parents in the Bishopdown Farm area of Salisbury to speak with their children about behaviour in the community.

The appeal comes after an increase in anti-social behaviour targeting vulnerable residents.

Local residents have taken to social media to express their concerns regarding the issues.

Talking about her children, one resident said, "It's been horrible recently. Sometimes I'm worried about letting mine out!"

Another said, "It's getting worse in the area."

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said, "We’re asking parents to make sure they know where their children are going and what they’re doing. We thank you in advance."
