We are aware that residents have concerns about the recent incidents at Threshers, Betfred and Lloyds TSB.

Headington is a friendly, welcoming and safe place for people to live, work and shop and it’s a shame that the activities of certain individuals have given rise to some anxiety in the community and in the press.

We are working closely with the neighbourhood police to ensure that they are giving these incidents high priority, and we hope to release a statement from the neighbourhood inspector on our website soon. We will post up details of progress on this site as we receive them, and are working hard to ensure that the situation gets back to normal as soon as possible.
