By the number of kids I see with cans of fizzy drinks we will also be the district with the biggest percentage of people with no teeth in a few years time…..and if your child is one of them please ask them to bring the can home and not throw it in the ditch by the park and Downhall Park Way.

You may also be interested to read this – my daughter found this on Wikipedia when doing some research for her college work!!
“”parks should avoided in the evening, especially Sweyne Park in Rayleigh,which has been well known for gangs to steal mobile phones,take drugs and mug people in late evening,but also tend to steal mobile phones in broad daylight.If you see a gang of yobs who look like they’re up to no good and just want to bother you, avoid them!.

Painful to read … and I fear more bad news to come…

CCR – is this the same web site that published this ” Since May 2008, Rochford District Council has had 3 Conservative members, 501 Liberal Democrats (all of whom represent wards in west Rayleigh) and 1075 Rochford Residents Party councillor. Rayleigh Town council is also Conservative controlled, comprising 1 Conservative, 243 independents and 29 Liberal Democrats.
Is the report about the park confirmed by the Essex Police site ? If not then I suggest that this post is not very helpful for the local residents or the town.

I have just read on the Echo site that a girl aged between 13 – 15 was raped in Sweyne park last Thursday (3rd June)afternoon. Is this correct? If so, then I am sorry to say RR but CCR looks like they may have been right with their post and I’m guessing this maybe the “and a fear more bad news to come…” that admin refers to.

RR1, you are basically right, we’d heard something about this on Friday but didn’t know any details.
Whether the stuff on Wikipedia is accurate is a slightly different question.
July 3rd, 2011 at 08:07
This is indeed a shocking headline and something that is, thankfully, very rare in this part of the world. However we do not know the facts as yet and it would be wise to draw conclusions after the trial. I still maintain that the post about the park on Wikipedia is complete nonsense.
