I DO agree with the letter from Mrs P Bates concerning the decline of the Glebe/Grasmere Street area.

I sadly live in this area and it’s all true. Some nights there are up to 50 youths on nearby corners, there is a problem with the noise and the mess they leave behind.

The police don’t want to get involved and I’ve even had a meeting with the great Andy Burnham on this issue.

Sort this mess out.
