SIR:I refer to recent correspondence of events in the Wolfenden Street area and agree with the authors of the letters.

We residents of the Boardman Street Flats complex are sick to our teeth. We are mostly disabled pensioners who went through the war. Some of us enlisted before we were old enough to go into a pub, or allowed to vote. We did so because we believed we were fighting for the right to return to our homes, work to our retirement, then finish our days in peace.

Now we find we are taunted, harassed, insulted, by unruly yobs, who do not live near our homes.

These yobs refuse to obey the rules, or show the same respect for the law, as we did and still do.

The police and the council know what goes on. They know what should be done, they will not take the necessary action.

J H, Boardman Street Flat Tenant.
