Fallen trees used as benches by yobs

Reported via mobile in the Parks/landscapes category anonymously at 14:43, Monday 17 November 2025

Sent to Uttlesford District Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8431001.

The fallen trees are used as a meeting place for the local gangs of kids/teenagers. At this location they gather in an intimidating manner and can be aggressive and rude to the local residents. Here they smoke drugs, litter, set of fireworks, lite fires and recently from here at Halloween then proceeded to egg houses and destroy local festive displays in the near road. This location has a adjacent footpath which should be available for the public to use safely, but gatherings of intimidating kids would prohibit this. Please can we have the trees being used as benches removed. Seems very obvious that if the seats are removed they will go somewhere else! Thank you.
