A video made by residents could let new arrivals know how they are expected to behave
The Craigmillar area of Edinburgh has had a bad image in the past. A lot of industries closed in the 1980s, leading to very high employment and drugs problems. There are about 7500 residents, mostly in social housing.

One resident suggested making a video about the problem of antisocial behaviour and focus on how to be a good neighbour. A lot of people are moving in and out as houses are demolished and the community wanted to let new people know how to behave.

We at the Craigmillar social inclusion partnership set up a working group of residents, housing associations and the council to produce a video for new arrivals. On the video, residents talk about what they like about the area and issues of concern such as graffiti, dog fouling, garden upkeep, noise and littering. One resident advises letting your neighbours know when it's rubbish day, so they don't put out all their rubbish after moving house on the wrong day.

There is also a rap by a group from a local arts centre about antisocial behaviour called "My Neighbours Are Lazy".

The film has been distributed to schools, youth groups, housing offices and community groups on 2000 videos and DVDs.

It was funded by £17,000 from Communities Scotland, local councils and associations, residents associations and the Craigmillar Partnership.

It was launched this week with a live performance of the rap. Everybody's very enthusiastic and they like the idea of it being aimed at all age groups.
