Sadly, there has been an increase in anti social behaviour (ASB) in the local area recently and some incidents have taken place at The Village including groups of youths being verbally and physically abusive to the warden on duty. As a result 2 wardens are now on duty on certain days each week in order to improve safety and provide a stronger deterrent to the people perpetrating ASB. Feedback so far is very positive and we will review this situation fully in October.

Our CCTV and ANPR systems are fully operational and continue to provide valuable evidence to the police, the wardens also wear body worn video on their patrols and use two way radios. Our wardens have an open relationship with Surrey police and joint discussions on dealing with ASB have been taking place.

The VA is also lobbying Tesco to install speed ramps in their car park in order to deter irresponsible boy racers, we are hopeful this will produce a positive outcome for the benefit of everyone using the store.

Meanwhile, residents are advised to always call the police on 101 (non emergency) or 999 (emergency) if they witness ASB taking place. Doing this will help the wardens.
