School Safety
During June, Sussex Police have been investigating  two reports of a male approaching young school children in the area of Dominion Road. I am asking for all Parents/Grandparents to teach their children about  ‘Stranger Danger’. There are many sources of advice and information available on the internet or from local libraries.

Anti – Social Behaviour
With the lighter evenings reports of youths drinking alcohol in local parks have been called in. Patrols will be continued in the parks to help combat this.

In June there have been reports of youths causing various problems in: South Farm Road, Northbrook College, Loxwood Avenue.

Also youths gained entry to the pitch of the Glyn Owen Centre
