What our readers say Linda Fabiani has written to Village traders, urging them to air their views over increased anti-social behaviour linked to Lindsay House at a new monthly forum. But our online eaders say less talk and more action is needed.

Jean Aitken said: “It has been discussed at community council every month for years, there have been meetings held with traders. I really don’t see what more talking is going to do to improve the situation! There are far too many vulnerable chaotic, individuals in Lindsay House, and it’s in the wrong location.”

Lisa Cunningham wrote: “It appears the unit is not able to support those with substance problems.”

Steve Fletcher posted: “Those who are homeless or otherwise in unfortunate circumstances absolutely do need looked after and helped out. However, those who choose to behave violently, whether on mind-altering substances or not, need to be dealt with in whatever way necessary to keep the public safe from their disgusting behaviour.”

Jennifer Foster said: “Local MSP should worry about funding homeless services properly, increasing the budget for mental health and addiction abuse and building more social housing.”
