Rough sleeping Runnymede residents get ASBOs

Davison, who sleeps rough around Egham, and Turner, around Chertsey, were given the ASBOs at Staines Magistrates' Court on Wednesday November 18 and the order is due to run until February 11 next year.

Under the conditions of the ASBO, Turner and Davison are not allowed to:

Be on any property belonging to the railway network or travel on any train in the country.
Assault, harass, alarm, intimidate, abuse, or distress anyone verbally or physically in Surrey.

Carry or drink alchohol in public places in the county, or in and around railway stations in England and Wales.

Beg or seek charitable donations, or to incite others to beg, within the boundaries of railway property in the country.

Karina van Dijk, the anti-social behaviour manager for North Surrey, said: "Trevor Davison and Kerri Turner have been creating an anti-social nuisance and blighting the lives of residents, not just in Runnymede but across north surrey, for some time.

"This order will give those residents some respite and will allow us better control over their behaviour."

Roger Nield, neighbourhood inspector for Runnymede, said: "I welcome this decision which hopefully means residents will see a reduction in the number of the anti-social behaviour incidents."
