SUSSEX Police and Crawley Borough Council will join forces to tackle reports of anti social behaviour in Maidenbower.

The week of action, from Monday until Saturday, will see the police working with local businesses and the community.

Street surgeries will be held in Maidenbower Square, Monday to Friday, from 1pm to 2.30pm, with PCSOs and community wardens.

Inspector Jo Webb said: “Over the past couple of months we, as well as the council, have had an increase in reports of antisocial behaviour in the Maidenbower area.

“We will be patrolling Maidenbower, in particular the parade of shops and local park, in partnership with Crawley Borough Council.

“If we see any offences being committed we will be dealing with it accordingly.

“We are hoping the street surgery sessions will encourage people to come forward and talk to us about any issues they are experiencing with this issue.”
