Are we seeing a resurgence in gang culture?

Young people from across our area recently met in Mauchline for a pre-arranged Friday night street fight but were stopped in their tracks when police caught wind of the plan.

Police have warned that a zero tolerance approach will be taken. Cathy Jamieson MSP told the Cumnock Chronicle that she finds the gang related violence worrying and that it urgently needs to be stamped out.

Do you think we are experiencing escalating anti-social behaviour here in Mauchline? What can be done about it?
