Unruly yobs have claimed Botanic Gardens as their den of operation say worried Churchtown residents.
The once beautiful gardens are now a no go war zone of an evening according to residents in the area who say it’s nowoverrun with yobs who’s favourite game is to ruin the local Bowles league.
One worried woman told OTS News: “There appears to be somewhat of a yob culture in the evenings at the Botanic Gardens. Last night we had a bowls match with an away team from Liverpool, when we were constantly interrupted with cheering and jeering and culminated with one of them running onto the green and pinching the ‘jack’ in the middle of a game.”
He promptly ran off with it. Another then decided to ride his bike on the green and another to lie on it, all to the amusement of the group. I believe from the green-keeper this is nightly behaviour on the greens. They are open greens, to fence them off would be costly and I doubt the cost would be met by Sefton MBC. Pictures were taken of said youths and sent to the local schools, with a view they are bringing the schools in to disrepute. Long term, what is the answer?”
