Ahead of the summer holiday break, local schools have been asked by Warwickshire Police and Warwick District Council to raise awareness of problems of anti-social behaviour in Leamington’s multi-storey car parks, particularly Covent Garden. Please see information below:
“In recent months there have been increasing incidents of groups of young people aged around 14-16 years gathering in the car parks at the weekends, in the early evenings and also during the school holidays. The individuals who are usually hooded have been lighting fires, daubing the walls with indecent graffiti and damaging cameras. On occasions the car park has also been broken into, with teenagers breaking in through fencing on the higher storeys. Not only is this causing distress to car park users, but it is also a safety issue to themselves and the public.
Whilst we step up our work with CCTV and the police to identify the groups and individuals concerned, your support in communicating these issues to parents and students would be greatly appreciated.”
We would ask you to discuss this with your children and ensure that they are not involved in any of these incidents.
