Two people have been banned from the area around Waitrose and The Podium car park in the city centre for two years after repeated incidents of anti-social behaviour.

Devon Corpe, 28, and Rebecca Morgan, 40, both of no fixed address, were issued with Criminal Behaviour Orders at Bath Magistrates’ Court on Monday 5th August.
Police say the pair’s actions, which included discarding drug paraphernalia in and around Waitrose and the car park, have caused distress to members of the public, including young families.
Inspector Jon Nash, of the Bath & North East Somerset Policing Team, said: “We take your concerns around anti-social behaviour extremely seriously.
“The behaviour of these two individuals has been both alarming and intimidating to those who have witnessed it on the way to work or to the shops, and this is not acceptable.
“Thanks to a robust evidential package, including continued reporting and impact statements from The Podium staff, we successfully secured the conviction.”
Anyone who feels affected by anti-social behaviour can report it to the police here.
