Anti-social behaviour blights Olney's beautiful green space

The Georgian market town of Olney is well renowned for its stunning architecture, outstanding independent retailers and first class food and drink establishments.

Surrounded by amazing countryside and the river Great Ouse running through it, residents are rightly proud of their town.

Unfortunately, this has been recently marred by the appalling behaviour of a group of inconsiderate and thoughtless people who have spoilt the enjoyment of the majority of visitors who appreciate the town and treat it with the respect it deserves.

In a statement, local Milton Keynes Council ward members, Keith McLean, Peter Geary and David Hosking said: "Olney is a welcoming, warm and inclusive community. However, we will not allow the behaviour of a few to spoil the enjoyment of the residents and many visitors to the town."

"In order to deal with the recent anti-social behaviour at the Recreation Ground we are working with Thames Valley Police and officers at Milton Keynes Council, seeking a zero tolerance approach to parking and road traffic offences, alcohol being consumed in contravention of a local Alcohol Exclusion Order, drugs misuse, litter, drink driving, and disorderly behaviour."

"We are determined to maintain the standards of our town for the benefit of both residents and those great many visitors who appreciate what we have to offer and whose presence we, of course, welcome."
