Your story last week about the demolition of the houses on the Longstone showed that we don’t have to just put up with anti-social behaviour from a small minority who make life unbearable by their thoughtless and unreasonable bahviour. The council’s determination to ensure these elements would not have empty properties to use as drinking dens is highly commendable and proves that the old ‘There’s nothing we can do’ or ‘It’s really society’s problem’ will not do. Well done to everyone involved in making the area a more pleasant place to live. Let’s hope we see a lot more of this type of pro-active action. Delighted Resident
