It will take place at Phoenix House, on Nottingham Road, at 6pm on Monday November 27 – it is for parents and carers only.

Councillor Butcher said: “This is a non-judgemental meeting with parents to talk about ideas and action plans to help them control behaviour.

"Police won’t be invited to the first meeting as we want parents to speak freely but we do want to work in partnership with them and other stakeholders.

"We have things in the pipeline to try and combat these troubled teenagers and improve behaviour."
