POLICE are using a CCTV van to tackle anti-social behaviour caused by groups of youth congregating on the streets in Woodford Bridge.

Members of Bridge Safer Neighbourhood Team will be using the van to deter the groups gathering on streets in the evenings, after a reported rise in the reports of this kind of activity.

The SNT has also recently visited a number of local schools in the area to directly address young people and discuss the kinds of problems that anti-social behaviour can cause.

For more information, residents should contact the Bridge SNT on 020 8345 3628 or 07766 247 243.
