Police responded to the antisocial behaviour at Shoreham Health Centre in Pond Road.
The clinic said a group of youths who regularly gather in the car park and lobby of the medical centre caused a “serious incident” involving a member of staff – which follows “several previous episodes” by the same group.

Meantime, we would like to kindly ask you to use the ramp by the library to access the health centre. We will be keeping you updated.
“We are truly sorry for the inconvenience, however, the safety of our colleagues and our patients is paramount.”
