I congratulate Denis Southall and all the people who have helped with the anti-social behaviour order on the six Foxwood youths (August 14).

The tenancy enforcement team is a resource in this city that can help law-abiding citizens get on with their daily lives without getting abuse and threats which are totally unjustifiable.

Yes, Foxwood does have youths "hanging around" (Ms Wood's comment on 40 or 50 youths in the area), but these six have not just been "picked" for the sake of it, or because they have caused a bit of bother.

It is because they are criminals and thugs. They were destroying a community and seemed to hate anybody who stood in their way. They have tried to blame everybody else for their actions and consequent convictions, and now they are branded the Foxwood Six. I hope they can finally look in the mirror and see who really is to blame.

Name and address supplied.
