Regrettable result of frustration

FURTHER to your article (Gazette, August 21), as a resident of Coastal Road I would like to say that in the last five years we have had periphery lights broken, gatepost monuments snapped off at the head, boy racers racing cars at 100 miles per hour, waste bins tipped over and their contents spread all over the road, verge plants ripped up and trampled underfoot, all by supposedly young men who are of good character.

Mopeds are an extremely noisy mode of transport, especially when the exhaust has been tampered with, and we have been plagued by youngsters going up and down the road after 10pm.

It must be very annoying for people when their young children are constantly being woken up because of this excessive noise.

I cannot, under any circumstances, condone the actions of vigilantes.

However, I can see how this unfortunate attack on this timid youth took place.

I have not noticed a police response to any of these events in the past five years and can understand people's frustration.

Margaret Eagle,

Coastal Road,

Kingston
