Who on the council decided it would be a good idea to open a Nightsafe homeless hostel on Industry Street, Darwen, in a residential area?
Thanks to their ineptitude the residents of Newton/Perry Streets and Marsh Terrace are now on a more or less nightly basis subjected to gangs of youths/girls screaming their obscenities in this area, with the hostel acting like a magnet, although only having six residents.
The residents of Newton Street were never told a hostel was opening on their doorsteps.
