if they are threatening or doing any harm call the police

if they are youths just being young and hanging out....live and let live

The comedy about this is that the police clearly know there is an issue ... yet have done very little ... same old same old. A riot kicks off and they go into hiding. But catching cyclists straying from the "box" at the cross roads of ncote road and battersea rise and you've got 12 coppers busy dishing out £50 tickets ... muppets.

Firstly, if you these 'youths' that you speak of are known to the local police and you have seen them repeatedly, why is it that you post it on here, rather then inform the local police, my apologies if you did so before making this post. Secondly, I am also aware of these 'youths' but I have never been intimidated or felt that i must cross the road to get away from them and I have seen little to suggest that they are actually criminals, only that they have quite ill mannerisms and are quite inconsiderate. Lastly, I would like to point out that a large majority of the community have misconception that any youth in a hoodie or tracksuit is dangerous, a gang member or a criminal in some way. I would like to leave by stating that this is in no way intended as a personal attack on you or any other and that this is merely my point of view.
Have a good day, Observer
