Review of Anti-Social Behaviour

I'm sure you are aware that were saplings were snapped off at the Old Orchard grounds, near to the Bowls Club a couple of months back.

A garage in Dodds Park was then graffitied.

Since then, there has been graffiti damage to two cars in Glenfield Road with a swastika type "tag" in red paint. Someone also wrote on the road at the junction of Oakdene road and Middle Street, but I can not repeat was put there due to the foul nature of it.

Then the children’s play area near to the Cricket club was scrawled with red graffiti, again foul language was used and bottles broken causing a hazard to children and guardians.

In response, the following action has been taken:-

I instigated pub licence checks to take place in the village pubs for underage drinkers, which have been and will continue to be done.

After peoples houses were targeted with bottle throwing during one weekend and windows smashed, I wrote to the local pubs and the Rugby Club asking them to not allow people to take bottles away from the premises.

Extra patrols of the area were also instigated by myself and will continue to be, on a localised basis.

Youths have been spoken to both by me and other colleagues in relation to Graffiti.

A party down by the river near the Bowls Club was broken up by police and persons made to clear up after themselves by police.

There is a new scheme running in which persons supplying names of the offenders could receive £100 worth of mobile phone credit. Persons with information on offenders can call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or myself on 01306 676351 or Mole Valley Council Graffiti Hotline on 01306 879190

Thank you.
