Hello All What's on in Stoney Wood, Wirksworth...
Not one of the many community events that usually occur at the fire pit, but teenagers using the area to underage drink most weekends.
Teenagers are also frequently using the area in an anti-social manner, leaving litter (smashed glass, cans, food wrappers etc), over filling the fire pit with wood, and playing loud music (large portable speakers are being used).
It has also been brought to our attention that one of the benches in Stoney Wood has been damaged (see picture), were it has been forced out of its stakes. It is unclear as to whether the two incidents are connected, but has occurred around in a similar time frame as the underage parties have been ongoing.
This post is not to say, that they should not be using the area as it is a community space, but if they are choosing to use it, then the area needs to be treated with respect.
Saturday 7th June, has seen a group challenged by the Safer Neighbourhood Team, the majority ran off, leaving behind a haul of alcoholic drinks that have now been disposed of. Although I will give them their dues, they had been prepared with bin bags this time.
