Police have increased patrols near the Royal Pavilion after reports of antisocial behaviour.

Brighton and Hove Police officers have been walking around Pavilion Gardens to monitor the situation.

A spokesman for Brighton and Hove Police said: "Our officers have been patrolling Pavilion Gardens in Brighton, following reports of antisocial behaviour in the area.

"Do you need some help? Our team are here for you. Please come and speak to us and if you have any information or concerns about issues in your area, contact us via our website http://spkl.io/618047uI2 or 101.

"In an emergency it is always 999."

Plans to erect a fence around the gardens to help prevent antisocial behaviour were put forward but put back by the council in May.

Historic England has included the gardens on its “at risk” register since 2017 and commissioned a “Heritage Crime Report” from specialists Aldwic Research Consultancy alongside Brighton and Hove Museums Trust.

The report highlighted problems with antisocial behaviour, drug use, a high risk of serious crime and the potential for a terrorist attack against the Pavilion.

Shocking animal protest of 'dog roast' stuns Henley Royal Regatta attendees
A shocking animal protest displaying a 'dead dog being roasted on a stick has left Henley Royal Regatta attendees 'stunned'. The daring stunt, which revealed a lurcher dog 'being cooked' under a banner that read 'The Great Dog Roast', occurred at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, yesterday (3 July). The prestigious rowing event, attended by celebrities and royalty alike, attracted crowds of 300,000 spectators - and many were left 'horrified' to see the unusual delicacy: a dog roast. The stunt, in which a silicone model of a dog was used, was organised by the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity, Viva! in a bid to 'challenge the perception that it’s socially acceptable to eat some animals but not others'. Viva!’s founder & director, Juliet Gellatley, said: “This Viva! stunt pushed boundaries and had the desired effect of shocking thousands of people into facing the reality that eating pigs, cows and other animals isn’t so different to eating dogs.
