ANDOVER: Acre path residents' misery

Acre path residents' misery

RESIDENTS of Andover's Acre Path are so annoyed about anti-social behaviour and vandalism they have formed a residents association.

At a meeting of Andover Councillors' Forum a member of the public said one householder had even erected his own CCTV system to monitor the problems, which include incidents of criminal damage as well as rowdy behaviour.

Residents were going up the wall,' he said.

Acting Andover police inspector Matt Reeves said residents must continue to report incidents to the police as it enabled them to identify trouble hotspots which resulted in extra patrols.

Acre Path had been identified as a hotspot and benefited from additional patrols, said the officer.

"It is encouraging that residents are getting involved," he said.

"Patrols have been encouraged to pass through the area.

"I have been on patrol there myself and seized alcohol."
