This is today’s dog mess on Old Post Office Lane. It’s honestly disgusting, the whole lane stinks.

This is a space people come to enjoy. The street art brings visitors into the town, and this is what they’re greeted with.

We’re now looking at moving our CCTV to cover this area. As a not-for-profit on a shoestring budget, that’s not something we can easily afford, but we’re left with little choice.

It shouldn’t come to this. Clean up after your dog. It’s basic respect.

The sooner we can identify and take action against whoever is responsible, the better.

This morning, officers from the Town Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team arrested a man in connection with a series of criminal damage incidents that occurred at the end of November in prominent locations around Weston-super-Mare’s town centre. The suspect is believed to have used red spray paint to graffiti local businesses and public infrastructure.

While we understand that some individuals may wish to express patriotic sentiments, causing damage to property is never acceptable. Our team remains committed to tackling crime and disorder in the town centre and ensuring that such incidents are addressed appropriately. Acts of vandalism carry a financial burden for local businesses, as repairs and cleaning come at a cost, which in turn impacts the wider economy.

The arrested individual is now subject to police-imposed conditions, including a prohibition on carrying spray paint in any public place.

If you or your business has been affected by criminal damage, please report it to the police. You can do this by:

Calling 101 for non-emergency incidents
