No peace haven

3:54pm Wednesday 22nd August 2001


I write with reference to Mr Matthew's letter. When I moved to Grove Park, 12 years ago it was a pleasant place, Chinbrook Meadows was a breath of fresh air.

It has been totally neglected and the facilities for children are unsafe and in a state of disrepair. Since the building of the self-build properties the amount of youth presence and vandalism has increased.

Two youths each night between 8 and 10pm, and later, ride their motorised scooters up our one-way road constantly, putting the public and cars at risk. They are verbally abusive and noisy, but the police do not want to know, even though it is an offence under the road traffic act and a public order offence.

Their parents are totally irresponsible, these children are out of control. A curfew order should be placed on them.
