They added: “The increase in anti-social behaviour at the centre is a concern to us and we will be looking at identifying those involved and paying a visit to their homes to discuss our concerns with parents.

“However, while we were there it was lovely to speak to a number of people who live and work in the area.

“Our attention was also drawn to a lady who had suffered a fall and had been injured.

“A special thank you to those many members of the public who rushed to help.

“It’s always good to see community spirit here in Fareham.”
