Nobody should have to put up with this at work
Shop owners in a Nottinghamshire town say they feel 'helpless' amid ongoing problems with anti-social behaviour. Police have been cracking down on the issue in Kimberley throughout July after increasing reports of young people committing offences.
“It’s happening weekly, two times a week. I think a few weeks ago a window was broken - I heard about it but didn’t see it. Lakhwinder Singh, owner of Booze Express, said that the youths tend to gather at around 7pm in the evening and the behaviour is worse on a Friday and Saturday. He said: “Mostly they do it outside the shop, and don't do anything inside the shop.
Gurpreet, a staff member at Booze Express, added: “Sometimes they gather outside the shop and make noise. They are very anti-social.Other hotspot areas for anti-social behaviour include the Sainsbury’s store, the Newdigate Street area and Kimberley Recreational Park. Other businesses that spoke to Nottinghamshire Live added that it’s mainly 14-year-olds causing the issue. One said: ‘it’s the minority not the majority’.
Sabine added that the young people tend to stay seated outside the cafe on purpose and won’t move when asked to. “They’ve thrown ice cream and rubbish at the window. Sometimes it throws people off from coming in," she said. "Reports have included public order, shop theft and abusive language and behaviour. We have listened to these concerns and recognised the need to put a focus on affected hotspot areas during key times, where large groups congregate, so that we can tackle these issues head-on and take appropriate action to break this cycle of offending.
