KGV in plea to parents to keep young people supervised

The KGV has asked parents to do more to stop young people hanging around its 3G football pitch over the summer holidays.

The sports ground, which also includes offices and a busy bar, said that in recent weeks it had seen an increasing number of unsupervised teenagers hanging around the changing rooms, causing disturbances, and leaving behind large amounts of rubbish.

They had even tried to climb fences to access the pitch when it has been locked.

‘As a community facility, we take great pride in keeping our grounds safe, clean, and accessible for everyone.

However, this behaviour damages our facilities, disrupts paying teams, and creates unnecessary safety risks,’ it said.

It now wants all under-18s on the site outside of structured club sessions to be accompanied by a responsible adult and has pledged to undertake zero tolerance for litter and vandalism, with CCTV being used across the site.
