THE 'alarming' behaviour of youths who gather at an Alvechurch bus shelter has prompted parish councillors to debate whether it should be taken away, writes Melina Cannon.

Alvechurch Parish Council has received letters from residents about the attraction of the bus shelter in Market Place to youths in the evenings and at weekends.

Parish council clerk Gill Lungley said beat manager Pc Paul Twentyman had been informed of the situation and parish councillors were due to discuss the issue of taking the bus shelter away at a parish council meeting this week.
