Little London, Leeds
In the early 2000s ASBOs had been issued in the Little London area to counter drug dealing and anti-social behaviour.The leader of the Labour Party Group on Leeds Council thought that these orders had been achieving a reduction in crime in the area.[8] In a letter to the Yorkshire Evening Post in 2004, he expressed the view that support for ASBOs by the Council needed to be sustained as residents in Little London had noticed a then recent increase in drug dealing, and he hoped that the council would continue to commit funding and commitment to the problem.[12] Following the demolition new low-rise and medium-rise housing was built as well as new shops and a community centre[13] Later in the decade the high-rise blocks on the Oatland Estate were refurbished and reclad.The blocks on the Lovell Park estate were refurbished although have not been reclad and retain their original brick cladding.
