I am just replying to the cover story of the Leigh Journal regarding "crime purge on estate."
It's not just Westleigh that is suffering crime. I live off Wigan Road near to Tamar end and the things that go on around here are out of control.
There are gangs of kids who are all congregating around the bus stop near Laxey Crescent drinking, smashing up bus stops and the phone box. Smashing house windows intimidating passers by with bad language.
Then there's the joy riders not forgetting the stolen cars dumped and burned out on Bickershaw fields behind Hillcrest Avenue that looks like the Bronx. Where are the police why are they not doing something about the young teenagers driving about in cars because I know that they have been reported to the police but nothing is done about it.
