I was absolutely appalled to read the article on Dave Barnard (The Argus, November 28).

Dave has been a stalwart of the Moulsecoomb estate for 40 years.

To read he has been forced to sell his home because of mindless yobs on the estate begs the question - where were the police?

Dave should be recognised in the form of an MBE for his voluntary work, not forced out of his home.
