Yobs on wheels ruining Woolwich’s General Gordon Square, say locals. The News Shopper gets the money quote:

Louise Camish, 27, of Green’s End, said: “When you go around in the evening, at around dusk time, there are loads of them with roller blades and skateboards running around with their shirts off. It’s madness there in the evenings…I tried to take my ferret, Grub, for a walk on the grass in there and the noise just freaked him out.”

Won’t somebody please think of the ferrets?
