I APPRECIATE there are many people with problems and the Arc Light Centre for the homeless seems to offer the help they need. However, I believe this area is not suitable for the new centre.
There are many smaller terraced houses in the immediate vicinity which are occupied by only one or two people, many - such as me - at an age when we would appreciate peace and quiet.
I have certainly had my share of problems in recent years, caused by late-night "revellers" who enjoy damaging cars for fun. So having the new Arc Light Centre at the end of the street would just add to my worries.
No matter how well organised this centre would be, I doubt if there could be any guarantee that there would be no problems caused by it.
