It is calling on villagers to make sure they report any incidents of antisocial behaviour to Sussex Police.
Residents say groups of teenagers have been running amok for some time. Destructive behaviour has seen gangs of teens taking drugs, damaging cars, vandalising property in Southwater Country Park, setting fire to the village skatepark and throwing stones at vehicles.
