How I agree with H Funnell about the need for a night-time curfew on young hooligans (September 1).

Here in Gladstone Road, Portslade, a group of young yobs regularly gathers at and around a certain house, keeping half the street up all night with their swearing, drinking and almost deafening music.

It is virtually impossible to get any sleep but neither Hove police and Brighton nor Hove City Council seem able or unwilling to do anything about it.

Perhaps they are also intimidated - old folk and youngsters alike are living in fear of reprisals if they say anything publicly against the mob.

Various items have also been left dangerously close to the nearby railway line.

I do not have any evidence about this but no one around here would be surprised if the same group was responsible.
