I WAS amazed at a comment in the Telegraph about the crime rate in Mill Hill, Blackburn, reducing. I live just on the edge and it's a crime a night!

I sit at home in the evening and watch not only my car being damaged, but others on the street.

I witness street fights, underage drinking, drug selling.

I have had problems with neighbours twice with all night fighting, partying, very loud music, verbal abuse and threats.

Recently I watched children smashing bottles all over the street and throwing objects at people's houses.

And someone wants to organise an event for the community! Ha!

Doesn't feel like much of a community and please inform me of the date of this event so I can leave here for the day, taking my car with me.

It will be the likes of me and other residents who will suffer the backlash of this event with the drunken hooligans enjoying their rampages.

I don't feel much reassurance.

Name supplied, Lindley Street, Mill Hill.
