I’m annoyed! How do I report antisocial behaviour?

Unfortunately, on our estate there have always been episodes of difficult behaviour that upset some of us. On occasions we have had drug consumption and dealing, excessively loud motorbikes, littering, doorknocking, damage to cars and property.

  • Quickly warning or communicating with other residents via our Fitzharry’s Manor Estate Facebook group:
  • Telling David Busby, our local Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator (see section below)
  • Involving the Abingdon Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) via their official email: AbingdonTownNHPT@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk. Our PCSOs are Susannah Morley, Clare Atkins and Alison Blood.
  • Traffic problems can be notified to Sergeant Mark Ponting: mark.ponting@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk
