"Sir, Will you allow me to call attention to the unbearable nuisance caused by six or eight youths of 17 or 18 years of age in Wheeler
Street, Aston. Every night, from about 7 to 11 p.m., they rap doors and windows, run against people passing along the pavement, and show their expensive Council School
education by annoying shopkeepers and householders. Many windows have been broken by them, and I am sure anyone living here would be glad to give the police their names.
Policeman can always be found at the corner of Lozells Road, but Clifford Street must pay its rates and take what it can get. Yours, etc., A Resident."
