I TRUST many of theEcho readership enjoyed, perhaps even contributed to the wonderful Children in Need' BBEC spectacular screened every year, amounting millions of pounds for a very good cause.

However, considering the amount of vandalism now evident within Fair Oak and many other areas, perhaps a Parents in Need' day could be implemented as to teach mother and father how to bring their children up, even only to ask why are you smelling of drink, and you are 4 hours past your deadline of 10.00pm coming home!

The village of Fair Oak is being systematically being degraded by this band of low life aged from 10 years upwards believe it or not, and I should wish the police and community support officers all success in their battle.
