TERRIFIED locals have revealed how they’re terrified of abusive neighbours who hurl dirty clothes into trees and terrify their kids. Residents living in Nags Head estate in Tower Hamlets, London, say they are in constant fear as locals from the nearby shelter gather in walkways to shoot up drugs.

Parents said they won’t let their children play outside because residents from the Look Ahead hostel linger around their estate with "aggressive dogs". Jodie Maxwell, a 41-year-old beautician and mum-of-one, said she now warns delivery drivers not to leave parcels outside her ground floor flat after her son's Christmas present was stolen one year.

Her bedroom backs onto what she described as the “drug run” - a narrow alleyway where drug deals frequently take place. Earlier this year, the government announced that every police force in England and Wales would receive at least £1million to tackle antisocial behaviour (ASB).

But Tower Hamlets maintains ASB is "one of the biggest challenges" it faces. Another mum, who's lived on the estate for five years but didn’t want to be named, said she frequently kicks people out of her block for doing Class As. “I’ll come in with my kids and they’re there with their gear doing their business.

“You see them jabbing it in their foot,” she said. “I kicked them out and because of that they wrote a racially abusive letter and stuck it to my door,” she added. Outside one row of flats bags of rubbish and torn clothes adorn the trees, blocking out the sun.
