ASB at the Bearsted Woodland Trust

I have received numerous reports regarding groups of teenagers gathering at the Bearsted Woodland Trust during the evening and into the night. Concerns raised include alcohol consumption, noise, littering and damage to benches.

I recognise that many young people are responsible and respectful members of our community however, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage parents, guardians and carers to have regular conversations with their children about where they are spending their time, who they are with and the impact their behaviour can have on others.

These conversations can help ensure young people remain safe, make positive choices and contribute to maintaining a positive environment for everyone in our community.

More regular patrols will be conducted in the area and people causing anti-social behaviour will be dealt with appropriately.
