South Perth MLA John McGrath said it was unfortunate that there had been a spike in anti-social behavior in Manning as so much good work was being done by local community groups.

“Manning is fast becoming a popular suburb for aspiring young families and they should not have to put up with the kind of anti-social behavior that is being reported to my office on a regular basis,” he said.

“It is the responsibility of every citizen to be a good neighbor.

“As I have said many times before, I grew up in a State Housing property and I believe that most Homeswest tenants do the right thing.

“Once again, I think this is a case of a minority spoiling it for everyone else.”
