Buses under attack mean services cancelled to estate

A BUS firm stopped services through a housing estate after young vandals pelted a single-decker with bricks and stones.

The attack shattered a window on Blue Star’s number 18 service while several passengers were on board as it went through Millbrook in Southampton.

It is one of eight incidents in which buses have been targeted by youths in the area since Saturday, according to police. No one has been hurt.

Blue Star suspended its routes through Millbrook from 9pm to midnight on Monday. Now the company says it could withdraw its vehicles for longer if the vandalism continues.

Most of the incidents took place near Mansel Park. A number of First buses have also been targeted.

Blue Star operations manager Paul Coin took the decision to withdraw his firm’s buses for the safety of staff and passengers.

He said: “We know that by  withdrawing a service we’re disadvantaging loyal customers, which is something we don’t want to do, but we have to put the safety of our drivers and customers first.

“We are monitoring it on a daily basis. We may take a view that we might have to withdraw for a lengthier period next time but the last thing we want to do is make Millbrook a no go area.”

The suspension of services has dismayed residents.

Chris Fox, 72, a retired company director, from Millbrook, said: “There are a lot of people who don’t have cars and are on benefits, so they rely on the buses to get into the city centre.”

A spokeswoman for First Hampshire & Dorset confirmed that the company had also had problems with anti social behaviour in Millbrook.

She said: “While relatively rare, incidents like these can be dangerous and if a member of the public were to be caught up in one – being hit by one of the objects thrown – it could cause significant injury.”

Both bus firms are working with the police to prevent further vandalism.

A Hampshire police spokesman said: “This seems to be mindless acts of vandalism by youths throwing stones or similar items at the buses and breaking windows, which sometimes then shatter.

“Not only does this put the passengers and driver in real danger from breaking glass and the distraction but it also means the buses have to be repaired. which takes them off the road. This can affect everyone who uses the bus service in Millbrook.

“We will be working with the bus companies to try and catch those responsible and would urge anyone with any information about who is carrying out the vandalism to contact us.”

Blue Star buses were running as usual yesterday.

Anyone with information  should contact the Shirley Safer Neighbourhoods team on 101 or Crimestoppers an-onymously on 0800 555 111.

Little savages. They probably think it's some sort of monster and feel threatened by it. Like Amazonian tribesman seeing planes flying by.

Still, hopefully it can serve to highlight the serious problems in areas of our community that are just round the corner. We've ghettoised and ignored areas of our town and hoped it'll all just go away. It won't. Until real money and real effort is expended.

Completely agree and sympaphise with the bus company and they are right to pull out of the estate.
.
It is up to the community to get their estate back inline and to safe condition so that the bus drivers feel confident with driving back into the area.
.
Meetings need to be held with the community, PCSO's and bus company. If they want their bus services back they will have to work for it, maybe volunteer as security for the bus route.

If anyone sees it happen there and then, BLOODY GRAB ONE OF THE MONSTERS AND PUT THEM UNDER CITIZENS ARREST!!! That way they get caught and scared into not doing it again. But I also agree bluestar did the right thing.

Just seems that no one is policing anymore on the streets......City Patrol was an excellent idea but the guys had no power but they did get to locations reported fairly quickly..we should have had given them more powers..instead they have been removed with nothing to replace them.Honestly sadly to say things are getting worse and out of control.

Had the same thing in Thornhill a few years back, dialogue with the Bluestar, the police, local Councillors, youth workers (talking to young people), the community leaders and local residents sorted the issue after a week, thankfully the problem hasn't returned

A solution was found, PCSO's joined the bus on entering the estate and and alighted when leaving then boarded the next bus, local residents identified offenders, arrests were made, although resources were better then (more police and youth workers) I think it may need the some of the same to sort this out.

Community cooperation is essential, local residents must know who these idiots are, although it is sometimes difficult to come forward to identify these mindless fools, locals need to stand together.

Unfortunately, the police are 'powerless' in situations like this.

If there are a group of youths, or in this case 'mindless brats', who are just seen loitering, then all the police will do is move them on.

No arrests can be made unless these culprits are actually caught in doing something unlawful.

Call2Arms says...

Why should it be down to the police?
These are our communities. Those kids live on the estate, they hang around the parks.
Local people know who they are.
It is the responsibility of the parents to educate and monitor their own kids, it's not everyone else's job to do that for them.
Perhaps when there are no buses the parents will realise this although most simply don't care.

The ECHO reports this as if it was totally new problem.
But it has been an on going problem with council estates in general. As a driver myself. Millbrook currently is a concern, but attacks in waves have taken place in Weston, Thornhill, Harefield, Shirley Warren, Townhill for over a decade.
There is no real punishment for the youths involved, when caught they often get nothing more than a slapped wrist. Neighbours are to scared of the gangs of youths involved, in case they become victims for reporting them.
Maybe as mentioned by others here, to bring back a punishment that befits the crime and deters them from doing I again. There is good cause to return the BIRCH and CANE to the statute books.
Allow the Police to have proper powers, it seems that the laws really have the POLICE in HANDCUFFS, rather than the little brats that caused the damage.

Maybe you should look at the policys and political partys your support.
Lets step back in time 30 years ago, we had police officers living on the Millbrook hous est, at lest 4 to my knowledge, but because of the Thatcher policy of cut backs to public service, meant these police homes that came with the job was sold under there feet to private landlords, which in turn no more police living on the estates, the big disaventage to this was that local officers knew the parents and kids on the streets this was gone no longer there, also the closing down where young people use to go in the evenings, and now we got more cuts and even more no jobs for people and you expect things to be different I don't and I said 30 years ago this would happen and be on the increase.

Millbrook what a drain on our society! Duck Season should be declared on these putrid scumbags! I would say have a word with the parents, but have you met one from Milbrook? Jeez talk about Rodents! Problem is most of the parents are only 13 years old, How can you expect a child to raise a child espeacially when the father is probably the father of mother and child! A big bomb dropped from a great height would solve this problem. Millbrook is actually twinned with Helmand. Make the scumbags walk, The bus company should **** Milbrook off!

Good Idea!

Suggest you show a lead. Ride the bus, and YOU get out and grab one, just to show us how it is done.

We will watch from the bus.

If this Tory-led government had not cut back on police funding, then maybe, just maybe, there would be a few police available to do the job for you.

There have been changes to the 17 bus why?
In Coxford they blocked of an area & pelted buses .
East side of the city they were opening up the back of the bus & switching them off?
All sports fields have been wrecked by arseholes on motorbikes or scooters ripping up the pitches ask a copper to arrest them & they say they can't chase them why not?

I am afraid using language like shirkers is to speak like The Tories; have you assimilated their propaganda without much thought? No-one is rewarding law breakers, etc. All people have to do if they want this to stop is to find the people that are doing it, or give their names to the police, so that the police can deal with it. This is not rocket science, nor is it political points scoring time; all that is needed is to find the culprits and hand them in.

Someone knows who these people are - their parents, neighbours, friends. All it takes is to point the culprits out to the authorities, instead of harbouring them and thinking the right thing is being done.

The choice between not fingering them and letting the police know who they are is no bus service. It's Millbrook's choice.

I've had a window put through on my bus, the brick narrowly missing a pregnant woman.
It is really good when the kids are in school as the teachers can manage them but once outside of school their parents, the police and the general public haven't a clue how to cope with them. It makes you realise just how useless teachers are.

Its the grass roots to our problems of today, and you need to look at the pass to learn from it, failer to do so will mean your keep repeating the same errors over and over again, problems that was started back then need to be address and corrected, your not going to cure any thing thing till you change the conditions that started it all failer to do so will mean thing will just get worse over time, it will not matter weather its 30 years or 1000's of years the problem is all ways going to be there, it will not change till the condition change that cause it all.
"and you need to look at the pass to learn from it, failer to do so will mean your keep repeating the same errors over and over again"

So your saying skinheads,mods & rockers were all Maggie's fault?
Krays weren't around nor were the great train robbers when Maggie was in power were they?
The problem is the wishy washy Labour/Liberal rules bought in.
Get parents & the unemployed to do the jobs are Eastern Europeans seem to find quite easily,stop dole for teenagers maybe making them do the German solution & be conscripted in a junior Army might be the way?
But most of all start making it that for every action there's a reaction/punishment that will deter these idiots
