MAY I request one of your staff take a stroll around the area in which your offices are situated any evening between 6pm and 11pm. Feel free to do this stroll any evening and I think you would be as shocked as we are with the growing number of kids and hooligans of all ages and both sexes.

Listen to the vile language and see the litter and rubbish left by these morons. My wife and I walk that way on a Sunday evening and we also pass the old people’s flats. There are usually up to 20 yobs and hooligans perched on the low walls in front and alongside those old people’s homes and the language is terrible.

I have contacted the police and council by phone and email. It’s about time a focus is brought to bear on this growing problem. I am sure if you take a look, you would agree.
