IN reply to Mr Snowden's letter (July 14) about the "barbecue from hell", I don't believe he has fully understood the story at all.
It was clearly obvious that the problem lay with the adults there causing a nuisance to neighbouring people, not the children. After going to the property to ask them to quieten things down, further complaints were still received.
The police were now aware of who was at the barbecue and obviously knew there would be trouble if they went back, hence more police back-up.
Six people had to be arrested, but for what, we don't know.
As the police said, offences were being committed at the property. Nothing to do with the children, Mr Snowden and yes, the police action was justified!
Mrs Corbett,
Haxby Road, York.
