Increase Police Presence in Bridgwater Town Centre

For many months Bridgwater Town Centre has been blighted with wayward and unruly teenagers who's anti-social behaviour has gone unchecked. The behaviour of this small band of teenagers is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the police or town officials.

Why is this important?

Bridgwater is a small market town and the town centre is the heart of the community. Many local independent stores have complained about the behaviour of this group of teenagers effectively impacting on their businesses. Locals who live in the town centre have said they do not feel safe.

Bridgwater residents in general have had enough of a small group of teenagers ruining what is usually a peaceful town centre. Many have said they avoid going to the centre now, especially if alone.

A prolonged police presence would deter this group from congregating and inflicting their anti-social behaviour on innocent passers by.
