In response to serious complaints from neighbours of the Meadow about rowdy parties and general anti social behaviour including negligent use of fires, the Trustees met to consider what they could do to minimise this unacceptable disturbance. The Trustees discussed at length the matter of  access, fires and barbeques and concluded that no fires should be permitted on the Meadow unless written authority was given by the Trustees to those holding an organised event, such as the Halloween Fireworks and Bonfire night; commercially manufactured disposable barbeques could be  used until  6.00pm and the Meadow would shut at midnight.   The Trustees were very aware that it is school holiday time and therefore the rowdy parties that are causing the problems may start earlier and not just at weekends.  As with most decisions, innocent people will be affected by this anti social behaviour on the part of some but we have to stop this unruly and possibly dangerous behaviour now before it escalates. The Trustees fully appreciate that they cannot achieve this on their own and appeal to the Community for their help in supporting the eradication of anti social behaviour on the Meadow.  The Trustees will be seeking the help and guidance of the Police and Town Council.
