Whilst the reasons may be varied, anti-social behaviour is a problem in this area and the Police have asked for our help. Overnight camping in the gardens is not permitted, so if you see a tent being pitched for overnight use, call the non-emergency number 101, no matter what time of day, and the local PCSOs will be alerted as soon as possible. This recent example, in the Palmeira Square rose garden, was moved on by the Police the next morning. The occupant had thrown litter around and used the garden as a lavatory. Similarly, if you see the gardens being abused or vandalised in any way also call 101. Photos are always helpful and you can email our PCSOs direct with these to sarah.thurley@sussex.pnn.police.uk
