IT IS hardly surprising that people living near the former Whitehouse pub, which is set to become a hostel for sex offenders, can't sell their homes, as reported on March 27.
No residential area should have to put up with this sort of proposal.
Did the people who suggested this scheme give any thought to the people living in the area?
The residents of that area have every right and reason to be angry, and I wouldn't blame them if they withheld their council tax in protest over this.
Whoever thought this idea up has a lot to answer for.
