RAILWAY Road is fast becoming Leigh's red light district from what I can gather.

I was informed that a brazen young couple were openly "at it" on full view for all to see on the College steps around midnight the other Saturday.

Most passers-by were trying to avert their eyes, and one poor old chap walking his dog couldn't believe his.

It's a pity there weren't any police ones around at the time.

I'm told the culprits couldn't have been more than early teenagers.

Have they no brains or sense of decency, or are they just out to shock?

Whatever, there is no excuse for this open show of bawdiness.

There's a time and a place for everything, and I'm sure I speak for most people when I say we certainly don't welcome such behaviour on the streets of Leigh.
