COUNCILLOR Athol Deakin is obviously not fully aware of the whole picture concerning teenagers trespassing at Sidemoor First School in Bromsgrove.

He is of the opinion that problems occur in school hours. This is not the case.

We, who live by the school, have endured months of teenagers behaving badly - both girls and boys - during summer nights, weekdays and weekends.

We have been unable to enjoy our own gardens and have instead, had to listen to fights, foul language and worst of all - explicit sounds when they bashed frogs to death that inhabited the school's wildlife pond.

The police were informed and acted accordingly.

We have witnessed youths climbing the school roof, climbing over garden fences and playing football on people's gardens.

Councillor Deakin claims he is not happy with the way Sidemoor is portrayed. We are not happy having Sidemoor spoilt by hooligans who cause such havoc.

These young people consume alcohol on school property and are an ongoing nuisance to Sidemoor. Let's hope we don't have to endure another summer spoilt by drunks.
