I write in response to Vigilante alert.' I have lived in Grays for nearly 50 years - all my life, mainly on the Belmont.

Grays is now a horrible place to walk round after 3pm.

The streets are filthy, the people are nearly all foreigners, I walk with a stick and am scared to go to the cash machines to get my money out for fear of being mugged.

If my husband would agree I would move tomorrow.

Grays used to be a nice place to live - now its SCAREY!
