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.
Paint was also splattered across the front of somebody's property last month and a popular play park was recently forced to close after some of its decking was smashed. Following the incident at William Lee Park on May 29, there was even a suggestion that security guards could be employed there in future to deter vandals.
Some of those living and working in Calverton now say that more action needs to be taken on anti-social behaviour as the population in the village grows. Major developments there include an 84-home project off Flatts Lane, and some say that the expanding nature of the village means more resources are needed.
