Man From Oxted Charged Following A Dispersal Order Last Friday

A man has been charged after police officers requested a dispersal order in Oxted last Friday.  

They had received reports of possible fights breaking out in the town. The dispersal order was authorised for 48 hours covering the area of the town centre, including Oxted School, the railway station, Master Park, and playing fields near to Mill Lane in Hurst Green. 19-year old Jack Tickner from Oxted was charged with six counts of possession of an offensive weapon, and one count for possession of cannabis.  

He has been released on bail and will appear before Guildford Crown Court on 15th June. Tickner is not allowed to be in Master Park or Bluehouse Lane during this time.

Pitch Improvement Work At Crawley Town FC’s Checkatrade Stadium

Work began at the weekend on Crawley Town Football Club’s biggest pitch improvement project in the Club’s 21 year history.  

Contractors Premier Pitches moved in on Friday to start renovation works at the Checkatrade Stadium just after completing a project at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium earlier last week.  The Checkatrade Stadium will be hosting Brighton and Hove Albion women’s matches next season; as part of that commitment, Brighton have made a considerable financial donation to the renovation.  

Due to the scale of the work involved, the Reds will be unable to stage a pre-season game until the end of July.

Gatwick Airport In UK’s First End To End Biometrics Trial

Gatwick Airport has announced the UK’s first trial of end-to-end biometrics.  

Personal data collected at the airport’s self service bag drops will be recognised by new automated self boarding gates. This aims to simplify and speed up airport processes to reduce queues. The technology will identify each passenger and verify that their passport, face and boarding card all match; a process which takes less than 20 seconds. The trial is being run in partnership with EasyJet for at least 3 months with 10,000 passengers taking part.

Once all the data is gathered, the technology will be adapted before taking the idea forward for airport-wide implementation.
