The police are currently very concerned about the level of anti-social behaviour in Capel, particulary around the Old Forge Surgery, Laundery Way, the Village Hall and Tennis Court areas. It is beleived to be the same group of youths who are responsible for all the incidents. Offences range from harassment of residents, criminal damage and causing a public nuisance. Residents are asked to report all incidents on the 101 number quoting MV/12/1686. PC 2987 Dootson is the assigned officer.

Highway Matters
The Parish Council has requested that Highways prioritise the resurfacing of Newdigate Road, Rusper Road and Vicarage Lane. A list has also been drawn up of all the outstanding faults reported over the winter and as yet not rectified including all the blocked gullies, flooded ditches and missing road signs.
Local intergrated transport schemes planned by Highways for 2012/2013 include:
A29 Henhurst Corss Lane to Beare Green – £10,000 is allocated for reduction of speed to 50mph to be implemented at same time as A24 Deepdene to Beare Green speed limit reduction.
A24 Beare Green (southbound) near The Weald School – £20,000 is allocated for safety improvements (signing, road markings, pedestrian guard railing and VAS)
A24 Old Horsham Road, Holmwood –£15,000 is allocated to address right turn/vehicle overhang on A24 Central reservation.
Traffic Signs – £10,000 is allocated for and works are ordered for advisory ‘Unsuitable for HGV’s’ in Coldharbour Lane.
Cable Laying In The Street, Capel – June Update
Due to Thames Water’s emergency repair works at the intersection of the A24 and Newdigate Road all other planned road works in the area have been delayed by at least two weeks. Cable laying in The Street, Capel and Rusper Road has now re started but no completion date has been given. Reinstatement of the verges will not be done until completion of the cable laying in the above areas.
Cable Laying in The Street Capel
This came to an abrupt end two weeks ago when Landbuild were informed that Cheetham Hill Construction, the primary contractor, would be installing the remainder of the ducting themselves by a method known as ‘directional drilling’. This meant gaining approval from their client (BIFFA) to use this method due to the amount of exsisting services in the area and because the method would be far less disruptive to members of the public. Completion is due on or around the 13th May 2012
