A DUNFERMLINE resident says underage drinking and noise has made his new estate seem "like T in the Park".

The man moved into his new property on the Allanwater Homes development at Carnock Road last year but claimed some householders were already considering selling up because of ongoing problems.

Now he's called on Fife Council to take action after anti-social behaviour has plagued him and his neighbours since they moved into their home.

The man, who didn't want to be named for fear of reprisals, said a proportion of the homes are council homes and a small minority of those tenants are spoiling the area for everyone else.

"The police are round all the time," he said. "There is shouting, bawling, loud music, just everything, doors getting kicked in by the police, just the usual sort of anti-social behaviour and it has been going on for about a year.

"We have been on the phone to the police and the council. The police turn up and do what they can but the council doesn't seem interested at all.

"Hardly a weekend goes by without the police coming. It completely drags down the area."

The resident said instances of underage drinking which had led to children being escorted into ambulances have have taken place while they were unable to enjoy the summer's good weather because of the constant noise coming from the houses.

"It is just idiotic behaviour and it is just going on and on," he said. "In the summer you would have thought it was a music festival. They were all round the back where there is a square and it was like T in the Park. Completely over the top. 

"I have phoned the council and the most recent time, I was told I would get a call back from the local housing officer, which I didn't. They don't seem interested, to be honest. 

"The police are busy at the weekends and don't have enough time to deal with it properly. At the end of the day, the buck should stop with Fife Council and it is really down to them to sort it out."

Fife Council service manager Greig Henderson said they were made aware of anti-social behaviour a few months ago. 

"This was investigated and there was a positive outcome," he said. "We're not aware of any further issues but encourage people to report incidents to us so that we can take further action when required."

Local community Sergeant Kenny Greig said officers had been called to an address in Carnock Road on several occasions in recent months following reports relating to anti-social behaviour. 

He added: "Reports have been responded to appropriately as and when received, and the necessary partners have been made aware.

"We are concerned to hear this resident's claims and would be happy to meet with members of the local community to discuss any issues.
