POSTER CAMPAIGN TARGETS VAGRANT
From the Herald Express (our local paper)
11:00 - 11 August 2007
Hundreds of posters are going up in and around Torquay town centre as a homeless man is now banned under a civil anti-social behaviour order.Vagrant Glenn Skinner, 36, is now barred from the area under an ASBO issued by magistrates on Wednesday at the request of police for a long catalogue of bad behaviour.He is said to be an aggressive beggar, abusive, fouls public places, and takes food and drink from the plates of diners, causing harassment, alarm and distress.Rachael Powell, for Safer Communities Torbay, said: "We've had 200 posters produced and they are being distributed by the street wardens and police community support officers."About 100 will have gone up so far."The street wardens are also going to hand the posters to shopkeepers in Torre as there's a chance Glenn Skinner may hang around this area of Torquay and we want people to report his behaviour if it breaches his anti-social behaviour order restrictions."We have had with positive feedback from everyone as Glenn Skinner's behaviour near their premises would have put potential customers off."The ban zone includes the town centre and car parks. Although he is indefinitely banned from the town centre there are also a battery of other restrictions to control his behaviour outside Torquay which could land him in trouble if he breaches them.He must not act or incite others to be anti-social; swear or be abusive; drink or be drunk in public; foul public places; and approach named witnesses.
Note:- Stagecoach banned him from their buses 5 years ago.
So what took so long?

Did First ban him? Or was he from the company?
He was banned by FirstBus as well, he used to get on a bus and go to sleep. It didn't look good having a down and out, and he cirtainly is down and out, fast asleep on the back seat. No truth in the rumour he is an ex FirstBus driver up on his luck!
such a shame he is a legend, we need him back!!!!!
he has a huge cult following just search the net.
absolute legend
Is there any truth in the rumour that Glenn is dead!
I haven't heard anything that might suggest that Glenn has gone to the Great ASBO in the sky. If I do hear I will post it on the blog. He could be a pain in the neck but I do hope he is still with us though.
