A quick look on our social media or on Hampshire Alert will show you that we’re actively targeting this. We’re visiting the airfield regularly prevent people causing vehicular antisocial behaviour and nuisance to people using our green spaces for leisure, and we hope you’ve noticed.

Stay safe,

PC 27999 Ben Blundell, 
Local Bobby for Yateley, Blackwater and Hawley.
