ASB in the vicinity of One Stop Store, Blackman Avenue.
What you said - A number of people congregate in the area above the stores, throwing items down onto passers-by and intimidating residents.
What we will do - patrols will be increased in the area, the communal entrance to these properties will be checked on a regular basis and we will liaise with the relevant housing association to advise them of any issues in the area. We are aware that a number of non-residents manage to access this area and we will take the necessary steps to limit the access to residents and their guests only.

ASB in Churchill Court, Stonehouse Drive.
What you said - a number of youths are often found loitering in the communal areas having found how to gain access through the automatic doors. Damage has been caused in the lobby in the past and residents find the youths intimidating.
Issue raised on 15 Mar 2012
What we will do - regular checks will be completed in the block, any person found in the block without a legitimate reason will be required to leave the block. Any youths found in the block we will speak with their parents. Persistent offenders could have conditions served on them that would make it an offence for them to be in the property without good reason.

Crime Mapper
Go to Crime mapper site
Crime mapping is part of a national initiative to enable members of the public to be apprised of crime levels in their area. The Sussex Police system provides crime levels at three levels: Force-wide, Districts, Wards/beats
How to read crime mapping data
For some smaller areas, the crime rates may appear high. This is primarily due to the low resident population within these areas; crime rates are calculated by dividing the actual number of crimes by the resident population and then multiplying by 1,000. Crime levels are then calculated using standard deviation, a way of fairly measuring and comparing the spread of crime across the force from area to area.
