Anything the local policing team can do to help, please just ask. It is true we are having to move on groups of youths from around the Farnham Drive shops area. We receive calls not only from the shops, restaurants and businesses but a growing number from local residents all around the Farnham Drive area. A ‘minority’ of people are causing anti-social behaviour problems that are affecting the quality of life for a lot of people. This minority is responsible for tarnishing everyone with the same brush! Underage drinking and smoking, foul language, intimidation, littering, criminal damage, etc. For eveyone's sake, you can’t let this sort of behaviour continue! The youth of the area need somewhere to go and lots of opportunities to put existing talents to use and to learn new skills. Good luck.
