The meeting has been in the planning stages for weeks between residents who have been in contact with the Opposition spokesman for the Bathurst electorate, Rick Colless.

A spokesman for Mr Colless said both Mr Gallacher and Mr Colless would be in Bathurst to hear-first hand about the issues that have arisen from anti-social behaviour in parts of Kelso.

The meeting to be held from 5.30pm at the Kelso Community Centre follows on from a long running spate of incidents involving suspicious fires, drunken adult and juvenile behaviour, disturbances of the peace with loud noise and drug use and trafficking.

Incidents at Kelso over the years have at last seen the development of a plan to spend $4 million to improve safety in Kelso through a dilution of the concentrations of public housing estates.

The residents of Kelso who have in recent months reported unruly behaviour from Housing NSW rented properties and the use of a network of alleyways at Kelso as bolt-holes by criminals breaking into homes and cars will be the ones meeting Mr Gallacher and Mr Colless.

Today's meeting with residents will be among the first to be called since Bathurst Police conducted Operation Saturation making door-to-door calls to speak to home owners and people renting dwellings at Kelso.

It is also in the wake of a call at Christmas time by police for residents of the neighbourhood to report every incident no matter how small or what time of day or night.

Housing NSW said the $4 million earmarked for Kelso would be used to improve Kelso, closing some walkways, development of streetscapes and major property upgrades with introduction of some new roads to improve access in a Regeneration Plan with Bathurst Regional Council.

A departmental spokesperson said in early January that Housing NSW intended to reduce the concentration of public housing in the Kelso area.

Work was well underway to separately title a number of properties that cannot be sold at present as they were registered under one 'super lot' title.

The separate titles would enable sales to proceed to help create a more balanced mixed of public and private housing. Housing NSW was a month ago waiting for feedback from stakeholders on the Kelso Master Plan.

Housing NSW said it took all reports of incidents to police as evidence that would support action in the Consumer Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.
