A CLEETHORPES resident said he is considering moving out after the latest act of vandalism on his property.
Neil Fletcher, 40, has his main door in an alleyway called Cuttleby, off Yarra Road, Cleethorpes.
It is used by youths who have carried out repeated vandalism and arson attacks in the area.
Neil discovered the wall outside his home daubed with graffiti on Sunday.
Slogans were painted using a spray paint.
The vandalism had been done sometime during the previous night.
He had already had to repaint his front door and has painted the wall twice before because of the graffiti.
The criminal damage came several months after youths had set fire to children's play equipment in the neighbouring St Peter's Church of England Primary School.
Neil said he wanted to erect CCTV cameras but was hampered because the alleyway is next to a school playground.
He said: "It is isolated. It is a favourite place where young people hang out.
"But it is happening too often.
"Having moved into this property late last year and worked myself into debt to make it my home, I find this soul-destroying even to the point of moving.
"I wonder how the idiot who did this would feel waking up to this where they live.
Neil said: "It is just random vandalism and a real pain. I grew up in this area and lived in the neighbourhood all my life. But I have never experience anything like this before."
Cuttleby has been in the headlines over the years for a number of violent incidents.
In September 2005, a 27-year-old man was left with fractured ribs and facial injuries following a gang attack down there.
In April 2007, a 42-year-old man was attacked and robbed on his way home from a night out. He needed hospital treatment after being knocked unconscious.
In 2009, it was named by residents in our Grot Spots campaign – where we asked you to let us know which areas you wanted to see cleaned up. It was a hotspot for discarded food packaging.
And at the end of last year, it was highlighted as one of the worst places in the resort for dog mess.
Anyone with information was urged to contact Humberside Police quoting incident number AB1975 238 of May 19.
