Parents of children behaving badly can expect a letter and be spoken to, police have this afternoon warned. Officers have said that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated as they continue to make the town an inviting place for all. And they are working with partnership agencies to identify the yobs - with some parents also have been spoken to about their child's behaviour.
A spokesman for the town centre policing team said:"We have identified a number of youths and warning letters have been issued in relation to their behaviour. Parents have also been spoken to. "The area is covered by CCTV and GMP will view footage and actively seek out those responsible if this behaviour continues.
