The Bradley Stoke Examiner

Bradley Stoke Gang Watch

In May 2007, a dispersal order was put in place in Bradley Stoke because of an increasing gang problem in the town.

Twelve months later The Bradley Stoke Examiner is still getting complaints from residents about problems.

Now we want your help so we can get a complete picture of the gang issue.

If you spot any problems we want you to fill in the comments form on this page and describe what happened.

Please encourage friends and neighbours to use this page so we can get views from as wide a range of people as possible.

This page will then act as a permanent record of any trouble that takes place in Bradley Stoke over the coming months.

Recent problems we’ve covered on this website have included:

We would also advise that you log any problems with Avon and Somerset Police - you can find contact details for the Bradley Stoke beat here.

    From the forum:

    More issues over at the centre tonight, about 30 kids kicking footballs and throwing things at the front of the buildings shutters trying to break them.. Also drinking and throwing of cans at the building, plus shouting and general rowdy behaviour.. its been quiet for a few days and now but is as bad as normal again. Police called 1 1/2 hours ago and not turned up yet.. great…

    I’ve been down as well and can confirm a great deal of litter at the front of the building and a number of teens at the back.

    You are lucky it’s only saliva, I have recently had one scumbag urinate through my letterbox on their way home from a night out at Baileys Court. Unfortunately for him he was ‘caught in the act’ and had the letterbox slammed on his tiny boyhood.

    Maybe a mail shot with the photo’s of the kids have on them, “Is this your child?” learn to control it!!!

    Imagine reading a flyer with your son on it, it has to be humiliating if all the neighbors now know you are incapable of raising a child. A visual name and shame!!!
