Complaints rise over anti-social behaviour in Thurston

Residents in Thurston have been complaining of an increase in anti-social behaviour in the village.

They say they often hear shouting and fast motorbikes with some teenagers recently blocking a section of Barton Road.

The complaints were discovered by suffolkvillage.info on the Next Door website.

Sam Stott said: “I feel antisocial behaviour around Thurston is becoming more and more frequent. I’m wondering if people have experienced it.

“At night I often hear shouting and fast motorbikes. There were teenagers with push bikes blocking one side of Barton Road. Totally dangerous and unacceptable.”

Meanwhile, Donna Walker said she thinks it’s youngsters who have migrated to the village from Bury St Edmunds.

She said: “This isn’t kids who live in Thurston but kids who come from Bury and think it’s cool.”
