another westbury teen has been given an asbo.. lets see if this works.... 



--- Quote ---A teenage boy who subjected a Westbury community to three years of anti-social behaviour has been given a two-year Asbo.

Fifteen year-old Chad Alan McVeigh of Oldfield Road, Westbury, was given the anti-social behaviour order at Chippenham Magistrates Court on Tuesday, November 8.

The order bans him from acting in an abusive, insulting, threatening or intimidating manner and using language or displaying behaviour that could cause harassment, alarm or distress to other people, particularly staff and young people at Westbury Youth Development Centre.

The teen has also been banned from Westbury Youth Development Centre, from driving any vehicle on a public road without a valid driving licence or insurance and from carrying a knife or offensive weapon.

The action was brought against Chad McVeigh by Wiltshire Council and Wiltshire Police.

Wiltshire Council’s cabinet member for community safety, Keith Humphries, said: “We hope this sends a clear message that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated by us or the police.

“Such behaviour can bring misery to so many people and even whole communities. It is totally unacceptable.

“If an anti-social behaviour order is breached it can lead to imprisonment – they should be taken very seriously indeed.”

Inspector Lindsey Winter of Wiltshire Police said: "The people in Westbury deserve to feel safe and enjoy the town and we are working closely with our partners to take positive action to deal with those who jeopardise that right. Anti social behaviour will not be tolerated."

Chad McVeigh’s Asbo remains in force until November 7 2013.

If the order is breached he could be fined or sent to detention for up to five years.

Residents of Westbury have been asked to tell the police if they believe the teenager has breached the order by calling Wiltshire Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency

      ::)   like the police are going to do anything about someone breaching an asbo...  they certainly didnt do a lot about anyone breaking bail requirements on a daily basis either  :( or intimidation threats either... bloody useless when you want or need them most of the time... i do sasy most of the time not all the time...

charlie finbow:
I'm going to be controversial on this.

I have known Chad and DJ since they was knee high to a grasshopper, yes they are lively and sometimes a bit of a handful but there not a bad lads, there not in the same league as some I could mention around town I can assure you.

Funny though  the 2 ASBO's issued came via the Westbury Youth Centre, seems to me the very place that is supposed to help the likes of Chad and DJ have let them down big time.

No doubt the dogooders will claim a victory but its a hollow one.

Maybe our Town Councillor and Area Board Rep would like to comment, I wont hold my breath though.

Are their any votes in it for him if he does?  If not, BREATHE OUT, Charlie!!

charlie finbow:
Thanks Mike good advice.   Remember, Every Child Matters, is the mantra from County Hall, perhaps Russell (who is involved with the Youth of our town in many ways) would like to explain why the system has failed thes children.

Shizzy:
Charlie, this lad has had the same chances as any other kid in Westbury, if the the system is to blame then we would be over run by feral kids. Ultimately Chad needs to take responsibility for his own actions. He, and he alone is responsible for receiving an ASBO.

He may well have been polite to you but I doubt you have followed him round 24/7 to see what he is getting up to. The fact his ASBO specifically prevents him from carrying knives and weapons would suggest this has been an issue with him before, which is worrying.

An unusually liberal view from you Charlie.
