Maybe that's why the Apache gunship was hovering the other night? Surely a small tactical nuke could take out the whole area and solve the problem forever?? I was told 60 years ago to keep at least a mile away from the place, it was doomed and all who live there, since the Black Death in 1660. And my granny was never wrong.

This is the second time a car has been burnt out in this car park , in happened about 5 years ago when there was street lighting and the police did very little then, l thought arson was a major crime next to murder but the police seem to treat it as an inconvenience to there day job, and as for the local Councillor's there's no point in having them they are next to useless.

Exactly. If the authorities are doing **** all about it, then its down to the residents. Name the families, broadcast their names and addresses, hound them and if you catch the scumbags in the act, deal with them in an appropriate way.
This would be justice, not the pathetic slap on the wrist punishments handed out by out of touch magistrates. These kind of families are infecting society across the country like a disease, and because they know that no-one will in authority will bother to do anything, they just make life a misery for everyone.
An infection can be removed by fighting it until it is gone, not by telling it to stop.

The Police are incompetent and have failed in their duty of care to protect the public. how long are we going to let them get away with. If the Police cant protect the people then the people need to protect them selves.

Just to point out the obvious flaw in the lights off argument, the previous fire at the entrance to the school happened at 10:30PM, WHILST THE STREET LIGHTS WERE STILL ON.

I rang the police as I saw my neighbour bring attacked in his own garden, the response- my neighbour could have said something to start the situation and as I didn't hear it , there was nothing they could do.....and the doughnuts were getting cold!

What a pathetic post. Clearly a police wannabee. Don't blame the Police for how the Criminal Justice System is set up. The police have laws to follow and must work and abide by them. However , I would Agree that Littlemoor should be policed better and more robustly with officers that are not afraid to get stuck in and let the yobs know who is in charge . I don't mean by unlawful means but by strong no nonsense policing

There are a lot of very respectable families that live at Littlemoor. These people are not much different from everybody else here. They work hard for a living and want the best for their children. The efforts of these people are hampered by the bigoted snobbery that comes from the narrowmindedness of the rest of Weymouth, like the views that I read so often in the comments section of the Echo; that everybody who inhabits Littlemoor is scum. This is so not true. I have lived here for over 30 years and whilst I do admit there are some terrible families here, the majority of them are not 'native'.
WPBC seems to like to use Littlemoor as its dumping ground for 'ASBO families', adults with serious mental health issues and those with very dodgy pasts. Most of the crime here is committed by somebody from one of these groups and a lot of the rest is committed by people that have travelled here from another part of the borough. I caught 2 teenagers in my garden stealing my kayak last year- neither of them were from the estate. I had a bike stolen, again the culprit was from another part of Weymouth. A couple of years ago somebody set fire to the brand new play area. He wasn't from here either. Instead these people think that they can come here and do what they please as they have had it drummed into them from an early age that they needn't have any respect for the estate.
There is a stigma attached to Littlemoor and everyone here is almost as responsible for it as the scum that go around burning poor innocent people's cars.

I work, and get paid whilst i post. more than can be said about most of Littlemoor!

The stats says it all, and most crime in Weymouth derives from this dump!

Of course there are some decent people there, but I only feel sorry for the defensless that are stuck there. the rest of you should have tried harder at school :D

Stench your stats are plucked from thin air in an attempt to back up you out of touch twisted views, You are trolling and are deliberately trying to offend people. Currant crime state actually state that more crime takes place elsewhere in weymouth plus I would like to point out that you should maybe read the "in the dock" page once in a while as most of the criminals listed do not live in littlemoor. Funny that! Anyone who holds such emotive views on the residents of littlemoor but condemns a police crackdown on cannabis has a very confused moral compass.

Cannabis use v arson?!

Littlemoor would be a safer place if the residents used their lighters on spliffs rather than cars. don't need stats to work that out ;)

Its not the use of canabis that is the issue, Its the supply of a class B drug which regardless of personal opinion is illegal. Here's a thought these arson attacks coincide with a crackdown on drugs, Maybe there linked,its certainly distracting the Police from the dealing that is happening under their noses. So the Manufacture and distribution of a class B drug V Arson ?

Ok this debate has turned sour. Yes this is 2013 And it is still illegal. Holding non educated opinions means you simply resort to personal attacks. Dont worry i am not offended. You do not know me, what i do or what i have done so your comment "you dumb, stupid and have the wool pulled over your eyes" cant be referring to me.

yeah exactly Over 6,000,000 UK citizens are criminalised and somewhat alienated. Over 6,000,000 UK citizens risk their health by consuming cannabis of uncontrolled and doubtful purity. Some illegal cannabis dealers sell other substances; smuggling routes which are successful can be used for hard drugs. Illegal cannabis can be bought with stolen goods. The Government receives no revenue. The criminals make all the profits. Many people are prohibited from a beneficial medicine; doctors cannot prescribe cannabis. People requiring some sort of relaxing intoxicant legally can only choose alcohol. Prison sentences even for continual possession offences lead to family break-ups and all the problems associated with imprisonment. People who are fined and unable to pay are locked up. People such as Coptic Christians, Shintos, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Rastafarians, cannot use cannabis in Britain as part of their ritual or experiences. No serious research can be conducted on the therapeutic uses of cannabis. Police time is wasted, the courts full, the prisons overcrowded; over 80% of drug convictions are for cannabis.

For everyone that is in favour of turning the street lights back on, may i remind you, that they go off at midnight, everyone tends to be in bed or at least at home therefore there would be no witness's for these crimes by this time. Also if you would like to have a look at this link as you are all so ignorant to do research, (i found this in 5 mins, there is more if you actually look, i am just proving a point)

And Quote from this page -

So, when you expose your eyes to bright light, all of the rhodopsin breaks down into retinal and opsin. If you then turn out the lights and try to see in the dark, you can't. The cones need a lot of light, so they are useless, and there is no rhodopsin now so the rods are useless, too. Over the course of several minutes, however, the retinal and opsin recombine back into rhodopsin, and you can see again.

Which basically says you can see without lights just as well with lights however you will find it hard to see if you are looking at a light then without a light. The street lights do not cover the whole street therefore these 'criminals' have a much better 'clock of darkness' by just stepping out of the light.

I certainly am not in bed by midnight, and judging by the amount of houselights seen behind curtains neither are many other residents of the area. However when looking from my window to the street, all I see is darkness, so I need some light outside as it takes a few moments for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. Within these few moments, if there was something to see outside - by the time my eyes adjusted it/they/whatever would be gone. Perhaps I should sit in pitch dark in my house waiting for the lights to go out so my eyes do not need to adjust in case something happens outside?

So to dissapoint, but there is no God. If there is, he is the one giving out aids across Africa, so i do not wish for his help...

LOL - There certainly IS a God - who else could have given you the ability to make a complete t w at of yourself here and make you totally oblivious to it ?

Lol. Stench, so all families are scum in Littlemoor then? Your happy to say this on a small local newpaper website, but i assume your one of those sad little people who just sit commenting on this site all day, why not grow some balls and do something with your life.

haha! oh, bless :) I work, and get paid whilst i post. more than can be said about most of Littlemoor! The stats says it all, and most crime in Weymouth derives from this dump! Of course there are some decent people there, but I only feel sorry for the defensless that are stuck there. the rest of you should have tried harder at school :D

For yours and everyone else who has a rather misconstrued opinion of littlemoor - i live there, i choose to live there, i will be raising my children there. And, i achieved 9 GCSE's of B's and C's, i also have a BTECH of DDD, i am in a very good job that pays well, i am conscientious. This misconception of littlemoor is rather disheartening as growing up i had the same warning and yet i actually visited littlemoor and formed my own opinion, yes it has it problems however so does everywhere, including the likes of wyke regis (which is where i was raised so i am intitled to this opinon) that has a massive problem with drugs, and underage drinkers. People need to stop being so narrow minded and actually do their own research!

what's you excuse for still being there? I'm guessing financial, becuase no one chooses to live there (not in this day)

I actually choose to live here. I tried for a long time to find a home on Littlemoor. There are a lot of genuine honest people on Littlemoor. Not like you Stench, hiding behind your keyboard and the anonymity of the internet.

Well your research is "clearly" shown in your comments. Your research is clearly as bad as your reading because you completly missed a massive chuck of my comment. Many people like Littlemoor for it's VILLAGE status and proximity to Weymouth. I'l repeat myself, please read carefully - I AM IN A VERY GOOD CAREER THAT PAYS WELL - YES THAT IS WELL (above the average wage) I too, am weymouth bred shall i repeat this to? Including the likes of wyke regis (WHICH IS WHERE I WAS RAISED SO i am intiltled to this opinion) I too know my littlemoor from my wyke. Research - 2006 there was a rapist loose in chickerell - 2011 there was a massive raid for drugs in wyke. - 2007/2008 a few suicide's of all saints pupils on the all saints grounds (in wyke) due to bullying. The point is people need to realise that crime is everywhere, there is no where that is perfect. It is unjust having an opinion of Littlemoor when it's just the same as other places in Weymouth, and branishing one place with a different paint brush while covering the whole of Littlemoor when it's just a few incosiderate people who may not even live there.

My research is based on personal experiance within Littlemoor. then we have the daily count of torched cars...

But of course, we're not to assume it's littlemoor yoots...

Do you not feel that the village status has been losed, and replaced with a 'chatsworth' type status?

I may not work hard, but I earn enough to enjoy a better life style than littlemoor has to offer ;)

You'd jump at the chance to get away! but you wouldn't admit that now, would you...?

I've been away Stench. The problem with other areas is the complete lack of community. I like the fact I can walk to the shop and the people I meet on the way will stop and have a conversation. I like the way most of my evenings in the summer are spent in neighbours gardens. There's none of that elsewhere. Its council estate camaraderie. I earn more than the majority of my peers and neighbours but it doesn't make me any better than them.

I'm not sure if being unemployed and workshy makes one any more of a bad person than being employed and workshy.
