Antisocial Behaviour in Westergate and Woodgate
It’s disappointing to share that there have been instances of antisocial behaviour recently in Westergate and Woodgate. This is something new in our generally peaceful community, and we’re asking for your help in reporting any incidents to Sussex Police.
There have been increased reports of shoplifting from local retailers - in at least one case involving physical violence towards staff. We’ve also been made aware of damage to private vehicles and substance misuse in quieter areas of the parish.
This is not something we’re used to in our community, and with your help we can return to normal as quickly as possible.
We’re not asking anyone to put themselves at risk or get involved directly. But if you witness anything, please report it - it’s quick and straightforward.
You can report antisocial behaviour online, or call 101. Every report helps build a clearer picture and ensures the police can respond appropriately and see where they might need to devote their resources.
