Neighbours have voiced their disappointment over a group of youths who had to be taken homes to their parents after being caught drinking and smoking cannabis in a popular park. Some in Radcliffe-on-Trent fear the anti-social behaviour at the Rockley Memorial Park, in Radcliffe-on-Trent, will stop others using the space.
Nottinghamshire Police officers searched the group during a patrol on Sunday, July 17, and small quantities of cannabis were found and seized. Residents in Radcliffe on Trent said that it’s a shame as the park is beautiful and a lovely space.
Ann Harbidge, who has lived in the area for 50 years, said that this behaviour could stop people from wanting to visit the park.The 83-year-old said: “I think it’s wrong. You can go whatever age you are, you want to sit and chat, look at the flowers, it’s for everyone.
