Buckfastleigh, Devon: Nikki Lane
Armed youths patrol the streets of Nikki Lane’s neighbourhood carrying chains, knives and baseball bats. Their parents and the police are ineffective but she's determined to restore safety in her area.
Nikki, 40, says: ‘The antisocial behaviour is unbelievable. It’s the same group of kids all the time — smashing windows, fighting, drinking and taking drugs on the street. They are terrorising the residents. No one feels safe to go out at night. People are afraid but it’s important for us to speak out or things will only get worse.’
