WE would like to thank all those involved in bringing some peace and normality back to the streets of Halliwell with the introduction of ASBOs for some of the culprits involved.
As business proprietors in the area directly involved, we have seen the terror and destruction these children have brought to our streets over the last 12 months - and the negative effect on our business.
It would be interesting to know the views of the parents of these children and the measures they put in place to prevent the Orders being breached. Perhaps by arrangement with the police and probation service, they could allow their offspring to help clean up the mass of graffiti they have painted on our walls. Perhaps the parents haven't seen their own children's names sprawled over nearly every wall in Halliwell, or I am sure they would have been grounded, or whatever punishments you're allowed to give children these days.
Once again, our thanks to all who helped bring back some normality to our streets.
