A LEIGH grandma and her granddaughter were stunned after walking along Cook Street earlier this month.

They couldn't believe their eyes when one of a gang of young boys pulled down his trousers and committed an offence, inviting them to take part.

In a letter to me this week gran writes: "This town is going from bad to worse. It is pointless going to the police."

Oh no it isn't. It's not too late to report the matter. Do it immediately before the youngster strikes again, believing he is free to get away with his obscene action.

This kind of behaviour must be stemmed before it gets worse.

Think of the children not fortunate enough to have a grannie with them!
