Thames Valley Police issued the warning following a rise in reports of anti-social behaviour at Franklin Playground on the new build Willowbrook Estate in Didcot.

Concerns have been raised about groups of youths playing music loudly after dark, smoking, drinking alcohol and causing a nuisance to those nearby.

PCSO Bethanie Saunders, from the Didcot and Wallingford neighbourhood team, urged residents experiencing anti-social behaviour to contact the police on 999.

Parents and guardians are also being encouraged to speak with their children who are out when it is dark.

She says speaking with them could deter them from behaving anti-socially or encourage them to remove themselves from groups of friends that are doing so.

Held on April 15 at Oxfordshire Coroner’s Court, the inquest into Benjamin Mander found that he likely died following the “toxic effects” of the drugs which then resulted in a “hypoxic brain injury”.

Amisulpride, sold under the brand names Socian and Barhemsys, is a drug used primarily to treat schizophrenia, depression and nausea and vomiting.

A hypoxic brain injury is caused by a partial lack of oxygen to the brain.

Mr Mander died on November 9, 2025, at the age of 45, having been born on March 11, 1980 in Salford, Manchester.

He was a health care assistant residing in Witney and according to the coroner’s report and had a history of mental health issues and drug and alcohol issues.

“He was discovered collapsed and having a seizure at his home address just after midnight on 9th November 2025.

“It is likely to have been caused by the toxic effects of amisulpride and cocaine, resulting in a hypoxic brain injury.

“He was taken by ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital but died later on the 9th November 2025 at the John Radcliffe Hospital.”

The inquest was conducted by senior coroner Darren Michael Salter who concluded the death was “drug related”.

Fans of the BBC soap will see the beloved character pass away in forthcoming scenes.

As the residents of Albert Square gather to say their goodbyes, Nigel continues to cling to his loved ones.

Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) stages a last-minute return to Walford to say goodbye to his best friend.

Sadly, however, he dies soon after.

Eventually, news of his passing spreads across the Square, as everyone decides they need to do something to celebrate.

Nigel’s wife Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) and his best friend Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) announce their plans to celebrate Nigel in the wake of their loss, and Julie is taken aback by how quickly the community has come together.

However, a struggling Phil is not able to keep it together, prompting worry from his brother Grant and close pal Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) as Phil struggles to keep it together.

As reported by The Metro, Ross, who plays Grant, recently said of his comeback: “As well as exploring Grant’s attempts to reconnect with his son Mark, it’s especially an honour to be part of Nigel’s powerful ongoing dementia storyline, which holds deep personal meaning for me due to a close family connection in real life.”

The news is set to spread shockwaves across Walford as the locals mourn one of their own. 

EastEnders airs these scenes from Monday 27th April at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on iPlayer.
