A BURNLEY park is to be locked at night to reduce anti-social behaviour.

The community garden near the Gordon Street Community Centre, Stoneyholme, will be locked by residents every evening, Burnley Council has said.

The move comes after Operation Hotspot, a six-week campaign to tackle rubbish and loutish behaviour, was held in the Daneshouse and Stoneyholme ward of the borough.

As part of the drive residents joined forces with the council to clear rubbish and also cut back bushes.
