The Borough of Spelthorne has suffered from an endemic issue of youth related anti social behaviour (ASB) in a number of locations, but mainly the town and Sunbury Cross. To combat this, the police have often authorised dispersal orders under their powers within the recent ASB, Crime and Policing Act. These orders are reactionary, not sustainable in the long term and do not provide a long term resolution. It has been noted that many of the youths have troubled backgrounds.

Therefore we felt the need to support them in a positive way. A football training session to steer youths away from criminal behaviour. These took place at Leacroft, an ideal location as

it has an indoor football court, toilet facilities and side rooms which could be used for mentoring. The centre reopened at the beginning of April with a spare slot identified as Thursdays 6:30 - 8:30 pm. With any new project, there needs to be some flexiblity and so to begin with it was simply a training session. Whilst the location is physically located in Staines town, it is open to all youths witihn the borough. Offending youths have come from Ashford, Stanwell and Sunbury Cross.
