Fires being lit in the small recreation ground in Eastcombe We are still experiencing anti-social behaviour in the smaller of the two recreation grounds in Eastcombe. Along the southern boundary, amongst the line of conifer trees, people are gathering to meet and leaving behind rubbish including broken bottles, as well as taking down the stone wall and building fires. Despite signs and patrols by the Neighbourhood Warden and local PCSOs, this is continuing to take place. If you see any anti-social behaviour, please ring 101 and report it. If you see fires being lit, this is arson and you should dial 999 and ask for the fire brigade. |
