Residents near the centre are plagued by nuisance, noise and vandalism. Others, like myself, are fed up with stepping around the mess in Poulton on a Saturday or Sunday morning and as for actually visiting the village centre on a Friday or Saturday evening, forget it. Where are the police patrols? Who sits on the committees who grant licences to sell alcohol or sell fast food, apparently to anyone to asks for them? Let's have a few names to write to; maybe to vote against at the next local elections? Let's have some action.

Oh, by the way, in the 20 years I've lived here, Poulton has always been "the village".
