Anti-social behaviour

We have seen a significant increase in anti-social behaviour over the past months. There have been a number of cases where large groups of non-resident youths have been gathering causing alarm and distress to residents. The Warden has either intervened directly or provided CCTV footage and Body Worn Video evidence to the Police.

There have also been a number of other incidents where non-resident youths have caused damage to the children’s playground, planted shrubs, properties and cars. Again, CCTV and Body Worn Video evidence has been given to the Police and a report submitted to the Tandridge Safer Neighbourhood Team.

To provide a greater security presence and support to the head Warden we have re-introduced double manning at the weekends when this type of behaviour generally occurs. Representatives from the VA are also meeting regularly with the Tandridge Safer Neighbourhood Team and representatives from Tandridge District Council and Surrey Police to discuss the issues.

If you witness any type of anti-social behaviour, please first contact the police on 101 (for non-emergencies) and then contact the Warden and he will attend and disperse trouble makers. BUT it’s vital that residents also make an official report to the police via the Surrey Police online reporting scheme. If it feels like the situation could get heated or violent very quickly or someone is in immediate danger you should contact the police on 999.
