Dedworth Disturbance
13-Oct-06, Windsor Express Article.

Last week, Windsor’s characteristic peace and quiet was disturbed. The dispute seemed to centre around a planning proposal at the Medina Dairy in Dedworth and the anti-social behaviour that occurred was a terrible disturbance for local residents.

I have been in Dedworth recently door knocking and although it faces some challenges, it really is a great area.

It was a disappointment that some of the national coverage of the disturbances was completely out of proportion and I thank our local papers for providing responsible reporting and coverage focused on the facts rather than sensationalism.

The anti-social behaviour seen was unacceptable and we must crack down on this in all cases, whether it is caused by noisy neighbours or boisterous youths.

Thanks are due to local residents, councillors and the police who have pulled out all the stops to keep the situation under control.

Dedworth is a great place to live and residents should not have to have their peace and quiet interrupted by the selfish behaviour of a few people.
