Dear Editor
Tim Hatton is completely right (Letters, 2 May).
Read: Letters: “Come on PCC, get some coppers on the streets
The centre of Bedford is disgraceful for anti-social behaviour: e.g. smoking cannabis, gangs, and aggressive begging. And worst of all are the youths who ride their bicycles and e-scooters through the town centre, dodging through the pedestrians.
As we know, e-scooters are illegal on any public road and bicycles are illegal on any footway, but the Council does nothing to stop the yobs who do this.
I hope the new Mayor will, at last, take this problem seriously.
Stephen Bottomore
Bedford
