Anti-social behaviour near a newsagents shop was one of the main talking points during a public meeting.
People at a Drighlington Police and Community Together meeting said groups of youths were again congregating outside Kian News on Wakefield Road, Drighlington.
Sergeant Richard Abbott said there had been reports of nuisance youths on Moorside View and Moorside Parade on the evening of January 15 when a fence had been damaged on the Parade.
The group was also updated with details of recent crimes in the area, there being no house burglaries since the last meeting.
Sergeant Abbott said vehicle crime offences involved vans being targeted for the tools inside.
