POLICE have vowed to pour ‘every resource’ into tackling long-running anti social behaviour in Cudworth over the next six weeks.

Wednesday’s PACT meeting at Cudworth Fire Station saw members of Barnsley Council and South Yorkshire Police hold further talks about the village’s problems with teenage gangs - an issue that hasn’t been resolved since it became a policing priority last year.
