Anti-social behaviour - subway leading to Exmouth Train Station

Reports have been received to advise us that there is an issue arising around the subway leading to Exmouth train station. Members of the public have reported groups of youths gathering around the area and intimidating people walking through the subway. The pavements are being obstructed and they are causing problems for local business.

Since December 2010 problems in this area have escalated and have now spread in to the Strand area of the Town itself resulting in numerous complaints from local businesses and members of the public using the Town and those living in it.
We Did: 24 Jun 2011
In the first instance, patrols are to be increased and details will be gathered of those involved. Those causing issues will be moved on. Businesses are being contacted to be offered reassurance and advice. Further action will be followed up with individuals causing concern.
7th January 2011
Because of the increasing problem we have decided to warn all those gathering in the subway area that they are committing the offence of obstructing the footpath. Names will be taken of all those persons found .
All Exmouth Officers have been updated with the action they are to take when any groups are encountered.
Since the implementation of this action a considerable list of names has been gathered and because some of those named have also been responsible for an increase in anti social behaviour within the centre of the Town some eleven "first letters" and two "second letters" in the Anti Social Behaviour process have been issued in the presence of parents/guardians.
The problem has also been listed as a "primary tasking" and this is monitored daily by the Geographical Inspector for Exmouth Police Station Inspector Capey.
By increased patrol in the imediate area and the issuing of
anti social behaviour letters to the main protagonists
