Police step up patrols to combat anti-social behaviour

Most of the incidents have happened in and around the derelict 18th century Queniborough Lodge site, on Melton Road.

The Charnwood Police posted on their Facebook page: “We have been receiving a high volume of reports in relation to ongoing anti-social behaviour taking place at Queniborough Lodge.

“The beat team are conducting hi-visibility patrols around the location, these patrols will continue for the foreseeable.”

In April, fire crews were called to a blaze at the lodge which had been started deliberately.

The disused building was ‘well alight’ when the first three fire crews arrived at the scene, and two more were called in to help fight the blaze.

Queniborough Lodge is a Georgian building on a site currently being redeveloped to provide around 125 new homes.

The area is just north of Syston, to the west of Melton Road.
