Nottinghamshire Police says the situation is 'clearly a lot better' since a dedicated beat manager was appointed
Anti-social behaviour is said to be getting "out of control" in Calverton following an incident which saw a park being forced to close due to vandalism. Incidents in the village over recent weeks have included a restaurant owner being left heartbroken after the front of his business was smashed.
"I was in Sainsbury's the other night and there were a group of four young lads who had already been thrown out, but they came back in even though the police where there. I know you always hear now that young people don't have as much respect for the police, but it was something to actually see it. Param Kan added: "About 40% of our customers are elderly so things like this will put them off coming here. If you were to come around here at 3pm you would know what we mean."
"I think one issue is that social media means they can end up gathering in much bigger groups than before." In regards to the broader problem of anti-social behaviour in Calverton, Nottinghamshire Police previously issued a statement pointing to the fact that a new beat manager has recently been appointed in the village.
