Work will continue throughout the summer to tackle any sort of ASB in the area.
Back in April, police officers met with councillors and other officials for a visit to the Thornbank Estate in Deane.

Cllr Ayyub Patel, who represents the Rumworth ward, said: 'It's really about bringing together a combination of resources because obviously we and neighbouring communities have had concerns about ASB.
'We've also had concerns about the ASB aspect that runs through from the town centre.'

The Thornbank Estate includes the Fern Street and Rogerstone Flats along with Blackshaw Lane off Deane Road.
As well as police officers, the event was attended by officers from the council's community safety and environmental enforcement team.
Health providers, Bolton at Home officials, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service staff and alcohol and substance abuse teams were also there for the day.
They discussed the issues facing the estate with Rumworth councillors, independent Cllr Ayyub and Labour's Cllr Sajid Ali and Cllr Abdul Atcha.
