IN recent articles in the BEN I have read about an elderly lady in the Chorley Old Road area being attacked and verbally abused by teenagers (where were the police?) and a Farnworth couple visiting a sick relative in the Tonge Moor area confronted by a large gang.

When they reported it to the police they were informed their call was being prioritised and it was not an emergency.

And now a lady in Great Lever is to be hounded out of her house by firework throwing yobs (where are the police?).

But wait! A councillor has received a couple of allegedly racist letters and the police are falling over themselves to investigate these nasty letters.

Is it not about time for our politically correct politicians and police service to start to serve us all?
