“gengar 1
you write as if you know 12 years olds as you live across the road which is park terrec it is not just young childen but grow men that pass water on srubbs so why have you not phone the police and i thing you are person that tryed to stop us getting the memorial stated by going and putting a objecksion in i can stand up and say what i have to say not hide behind gengar 1”

“I would like to thank Mr Green for his insight into these disgusting daily occurrences.

What the hell are the authorities doing it letting these scandalous incidents to continue repeatedly day after day. It seems that these are low down on the priorities for the Council and the Police and it's about time the full force of the by-laws and laws of the land were implemented. What about a security firm being put in place temporarily to deter such shenanigans (rent a thug for example).

Let's not forget that this is not a play park, yes it is a recreational area but for general reflection, peace and tranquil. It is what it says it is, a Memorial Garden to those brave citizens of our city who gave their life for our freedoms which we enjoy today.

Just imagine for one moment kids and yobs abusing and desecrating the Staffordshire Arboretum, yes there would be national outcry, I can see no difference to the same respect that should be given to the Tunstall Memorial Gardens.

I think people like Mr Green and his associates should be applauded who give their free time and dedication without pay or reward. I know you are fighting a losing battle Doug but I hope you can win this war.

The parents of these hoodlums should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, parents teaching respect nowadays seems to be a thing of the past.”

“truestokie.....oh you tell them? darn, why didnt i think of that?”

“Mr Green makes all the points related to this problem and yes sometimes the spelling is not correct but we all know what he is meaning . the memorial gardens are not a park and are not a playing field the gardens are an area dedicated to your the people of Tunstalls fallen heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that you the people of Tunstall could enjoy areas like the memorial gardens and the park with its playing fields which is just down the road so come on people of Tunstall YOU HELP THE POLICE TO GET THIS PROBLEM SORTED OUT ITS YOUR MEMORIAL GARDENS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

“brokenridge it is etc not ect, if you want to be fancy at least spell right. I remember when I was young and going through this park over 20 years ago, I was afraid to go through it then, I can only imagine what a hell hole it must be now.”

“gengar1, they don't play outside my house as there is fields not 50 yards away,( just the same as there are there), and I tell them so.
Once again it is not chidren that are staeling the lights and metal.
These "little darlings" need a parent that gives a damn, and to teach them respect.”

“Truestokie, as i said in my points earlier, forward me your address and when the gates are closed ill send the multitude of children to play in front of your house continually and we will all be happy. ;o)”
