FURTHER to your article regarding the Paulhan Street area in the Bolton Evening News on Friday, April 13.

I certainly hope the money is granted, because all of our properties have been defaced by these gangs, and also small groups of young children who abuse and threaten if they are tackled.

I only hope if, when things are looking nice again, that these gangs who push walls over, throw bricks in windows, write graffiti everywhere, and fire air rifles at windows etc, will no longer be living here, otherwise it will be money down the drain.

It's no wonder houses won't sell.
