nIT'S a great shame that parts of Little Hulton are becoming no-go areas for public transport, thanks to the yobs.

Bus services have already been disrupted because of stone-throwing youths. Now, taxi drivers are threatening to boycott the area after Saturday night revellers regularly slash seats and damage cabs.

Unfortunately, it is ordinary decent citizens who will be inconvenienced - along with those who deserve it.

Taxi drivers are in a Catch 22 situation if they want to install CCTV to fight crime. If they are forced to cut out routes and potential work, they will struggle to pay for the costly equipment to be installed.
