Fight in churchyard highlights growing problem
A fight in a Wellington churchyard highlights a growin problem with antisocial behavior. The brawl, watched by a group of onlookers and filmed by local resident, Ben Morgan, shows a dispute getting out of hand. Ben said “The group has been growing over recent weeks and is intimidating for people walking through. It was only a matter of time before things got out of hand.”. The video ends as one protagonist walks away with a bleeding eye.
The churchyard is now a place where people gather to drink around the benches, rather than students and families eating picnic lunches of a few years ago.

Why has this been posted?
This isn’t really a good advertisement for Telford is it?
Where’s this?
Looks like big church in welly
Scum.
If you’re going to post something like this, at least have the common sense to explain what it’s about.
Wow on a church yard
Telfords already on the map for the wrong reasons – this won’t make any difference will it.
so disrespectful to the dead and their families etc….
Welcome to Telford… the place where we can’t even respect the dead.
Its the local piss heads
What a disgrace!!!
People fighting in a church yard is hardly worth a mention in Telford. Have you ever actually lived here? Gone out on a friday night?
Can I ask if they are local people or people that have moved here in recent years ?
This is a growing problem that needs to be addressed asap. These people ( it is always the same faces) also sit on the graves around the back of the church and drink, smoke( not regular ciggies) and their language is disgusting, not caring who is about including young children. Did speak to a police officer one day on town and he said it wasn’t his problem as he was in town on another matter!
They should be banned from wellington centre as others have been.
Where are the community support or police officers????
Low mentality vermin
I wouldnt call it a fight lol none of them know how to punch properly. If you dont know how to fight then whats the point just go home.
ASB is becoming an increasing problem in particular areas – important to work productively with the local policing team.
