AN ESTATE in Chislehurst plagued by youth crime in recent weeks will welcome its MP to a public meeting.

Tenants and homeowners on the Edgebury estate called the meeting to discuss possible solutions to a rise in incidents of abuse, vandalism and graffiti.

Youths from Eltham some as young as 12 are thought to be responsible for most of the crime.

Bromley and Chislehurst MP Eric Forth agreed to attend after residents won the support of police officers, Broomleigh Housing Association and the Chislehurst Society.

The meeting is at Imperial Hall, Imperial Way, at 8pm tomorrow (Thursday).
