Anti-social behaviour on a Cardiff estate could be tackled by the installation of pink lighting to show up teenagers’ acne. The idea would be to deter yobs at a parade of shops in the city’s Fairwater district where five arrests have been made and 18 Asbos issued in six weeks. Councillor and resident Neil McEvoy said: “People’s lives are being made a misery.” South Wales Police said street lighting decisions were for the local authority. Mr McEvoy said the prospect of the pink lighting was raised at a Pact (Police and Communities Together) meeting, where residents were told it has been used successfully as a deterrent elsewhere.
