Vandalism
in and around L.F.E. Submitted on Aug 02, 07
How disappointing to see that some of the youths in our midst
appear to be following the national trend of having no respect
for either people or property.
Besides the totally senseless vandalism to
various parts of the park and its surroundings, there is a more
worrying aspect of intimidation that appears to go hand in hand
with these idiots.
Very recently, one resident was subjected to
youths throwing things at the windows and then violently kicking
at the front door. Apparently for no other reason than for something
to do!
The very frightened lady had to telephone her
husband to return from a social function to be with her. Unfortunately
despite several phone calls to the police they did not attend
until the next day. Did the yobs ever stop to think that this
very same disturbing incident could happen to their mum or gran's
house? I don't think so.
I have also heard of intimidation to work
people. Whilst trying to remove one of the damaged benches from
the park for repair, the yobs then demanded to know what was
happening to their ****ing bench and what authority he had!
It seems that this particular area is fast becoming a protected
area or should I say turf or manor!
Interestingly the Parish Council still wants to provide more
play facilities but I fear will have to think again as this
would only give greater delight to the vandals in having brand
new and challenging equipment to destroy.
In the end the local children will be denied
having some decent play facilities What is more worrying is
the fact that in Narborough where some extremely good new play
items have been installed (I assume at some considerable cost)
someone overnight is loosening the bolts on items which could
lead to a very serious injury or even worse. Absolutely mindless.
Despite these recent incidents, residents of
LFE must be quite happy. In order for residents to have their
say on ANY issues, surgeries have been held
locally with our local P.C Ijaz Ahmed and a senior Police official
in attendance. On the first occasion one person turned up whilst
on the second twelve. Is everyone happy with policing in our
area?
