YOUR front page story (Evening News, Saturday, May 25) prompted me to write that as a Pershore resident I would like to voice my concern about young people speeding around the town and around the Abbey estate where I live.

If this is such a huge problem for the police then why not provide places for these youngsters to race their cars such as old airfields or derelict spaces and fill them with straw bales so that they race around without risking the lives of other people.

More places for young people need to be created with outlets for their frustration before their behaviour spirals out of control.
