Newbury Today Forum _ Newbury News _ truancy sweeps during half term Wed 27th through June 2nd
Posted by: Road User May 27 2009, 12:01 PM
Article Thames Valley Police, Neighbourhood Watch and West Berkshire Council join forces to combat crime in Thatcham 
Can anyone explain to me the point of doing "Truancy Sweeps" during half term? I appreciate what they are trying to do but this is just a waste of time and money!
"There will also be visits to schools to let pupils know about the range of youth activities in their area." Again why go into Schools when the pupils are not there?

Truancy sweeps during half time is a waste of time as kids will be off anway; this sounds like a joke. Please should be dealing with more important things - at least in the school holiday's - like crime, yob behaviour etc.

Where is the article, I couldn't see it on the main website.

It's all a conspiracy.
Either that or a simple mistake including those 2 words in a press release. The truth is out there....

It would appear they have removed the article. It was in the Thatcham news section. I can only guess the person who came up with the idea didn't have children and didn't bother to check the dates.....

Or they did the other bits but not the truancy sweep.

I've seen a lot of kids recently that should have been at school playing in the fields. Obviously the truancy sweep doesn't work.
