‘Patch Walk’ Over Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour Concerns

People living on the Airfield Farm estate in Market Harborough can talk to Police and community safety bosses tonight about crime and anti-social behaviour.

There have been on-going problems around the Wellington Place and Harvest Road areas, including groups of youths damaging houses, vandalising public areas, verbally abusing residents and riding motorcycles dangerously.
