I AM writing this letter to highlight the concerns the people of Bradshaw and Harwood have with regard to the growing number of incidents caused by yobs on Safeway car park and petrol station in Harwood.

It is impossible for ordinary folk to walk around Lea Gate without being confronted or intimidated by these thugs.

They have no respect for anyone, or for property, and unfortunately ended with the assault of a well respected member of the community on Friday night.

The council or the police have to act and remove this threat from our community quickly, before it escalates.

We are sick of looking over our shoulders on weekend nights, taxi companies are refusing to come to Lea Gate on some nights. Why is this problem being ignored?
