EXTRA activities for young people have been happening in Northwich this summer following complaints of anti-social behaviour at Moss Farm Leisure Complex.

Cheshire West and Chester Council and Cheshire Police have received a number of complaints relating to youth ASB at Moss Farm from nearby residents.

The borough’s Community Safety Partnership including the council, Cheshire Police, Brio Leisure and Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service developed an action plan to

deter anyone involved with ASB at the centre.

This includes increased on-site security and additional CCTV cameras to capture evidence.

Extra activities have also been provided, including football events co-ordinated by the Cheshire Football Association.

The latest event happened today - a girls’ only event following the Lionesses’ success earlier this month.

Brio Bootcamp is also currently taking place every Wednesday at Northwich Lifestyle Centre between 10am and 12 noon.

Councillor Robert Cernik, cabinet member for children and families and member of the Community Safety Partnership said: “I’m delighted additional activities were arranged through partners for young people in the area during the summer months.

“This multi-agency approach to tackling larger groups at Moss Farm demonstrates how we all work together to make a difference in our communities.

“Partners will continue to engage with young people in the area.”

Inspector Jason Murray of Northwich Local Policing Unit said: “Moss Farm is a fantastic local amenity for all people in Northwich to enjoy.

“We have been working very hard with our partners at Cheshire West and Chester Council, Cheshire Fire and Rescue and Brio Leisure to implement some practical and sustainable measures to help residents and businesses in the area.”
