NHW REPORT OCTOBER 2022
ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
We have had episodes of Anti Social Behaviour in the village on the castle on three consecutive evenings.
A group of approximately ten youths from outside of the village have been arriving in cars under the cover of darkness. They were messing around on the castle, hooting, shouting, flashing lights and causing dogs to bark, causing problems for the residents living in Moat Lane and surrounding area.
The youths also stood on the castle walls and pulled each other up, possibly using the rope from the water safety buoy. This is not one of the safest activity to take place in the dark or at any other time on a castle ruin.
They caused some minor vandalism and sign damage; although they threw away the safety buoy and rope, it has now been recovered. A sign from one of the gates were also torn off.
Each evening 101 was called but unfortunately the police were unable to attend due to their volume of work.
