REGARDING the fears over fairground ‘hooligans’ affecting the Colne R&B Festival – the residents who live near to the proposed fairground have in previous years been subjected to intimidation from mindless and thoughtless yobs who have defacated and urinated in their gardens, threatened them and generally made them frightened.

It is not surprising that they don't want to have to suffer this again.

I would like to see the police making objections to this as they will have to deal with the fall-out.
