MP Appeals for Calm
06-Oct-06, Press Release.

Following several nights of disturbances in the Dedworth area, Windsor MP Adam Afriyie has called for calm.

Speaking about the disturbances around the Medina Dairy, Mr Afriyie commented:

"Windsor is an attractive and peaceful town which has, sadly and surprisingly, experienced a few days of disturbance involving a handful of teenagers in the Dedworth area.

"Having been on the doorsteps on many occasions over the last few weeks, months and years, my greatest concern is for the law-abiding residents of Dedworth who have had their lives temporarily interrupted.

"Having been in contact with local residents, councillors and Police Chief Superintendent Brian Langston, we are united in our appeal for calm and I am pleased that the situation has quietened down somewhat.

"There has been some concern from local residents about noise from the dairy, and some concern from workers about noisy abuse from local youths and I have urged the police to take firm action against those who break the law, no matter who they are.

"Whatever the mixture of causes, the issue is one of anti-social behaviour, which cannot be allowed to continue in Dedworth or anywhere else in the constituency.

"Now is the time to unite against anyone who wants to stir up the situation or cause further disturbance or acts of vandalism"
