bail hostel

They could send them to Chernobyl, the town is already built plenty of housing, no one else in the immediate area its secure and patrolled what more do you need.

Or India, If its good enough for our Call centre jobs its good enough for prison IMHO.

Pay the indian goverment probably 1/4 of what it costs to keep them here, conditions should be as per the indians get i.e. not somewhere you want to go back as opposed to somewhere you want to check in for a few days R&R.

As others said, far too much consideration for 'their' rights and not enough for teh decent people's

I'm a little confused by the papers report of housing people who were out earlier than the length of their sentences.

I understood Bail houses were just that, to house people who had not been charged or proven guilty in their crime, and that they have no particular permanent abode so at least easy to find and monitor.

They, apparantely, only put in 'offenders' who would not pose a threat to the public.

Listened to a lady interviewed who had lived across from one for years, and the close residents were given a contact number if any disturbances, etc., and she said they were down like a shot to sort out matters and did. Better service seemingly than if you or I have a troublesome neighbour.

I expect lots of people have lived next door to bailed people who have a house to go back to, and maybe for worse offences.

accrington probation housed a pedophile next door to me without consulting me at all

i lived on a street that ran scouts , cubs etc and on teh next street was a junior school

not only that i have 2 children of my own and because i wasnt informed what filthy bastard creature had been housed next door to me i invited my new neighbour in for coffee and he came round quite often and sat with my children

we only found out what he was because my then partner said he looked familiar and it turned out that he was from darwen where she is from and after a bit of investigative work of our own we found teh story on teh telegraph archives and it turned out he had been working for the council as a support officer for children and had used his postion to abuse

he actualy ran away before while supposedly under supervisoin and was fined £50 when he was eventualy located

they should be killed period , we waste too much money trying to control them and death is much cheaper

what about the big house at the top of park road accy.

[MargaretR]

All the time I worked at the social that was a lodging house full of men with 'dubious pasts' - it was privately owned - don't know whether it is the same now

[BERNADETTE]

Some good news for a change, the bail hostel is not going to be opened in Accrington

[flashy]

they already have one in Accy anyway

[BERNADETTE]

One that we know about

[flashy]

thats true, the one up Lydia street, its been there for donkeys years

[BERNADETTE]

According to the Observer they are now housing child sex offenders at Lydia Street!!! Apparently one of them has been watching child porn in his room and has been reported and had his DVD player confiscated. It really gets me angry when they are putting these perverts in a hostel near kids and that parents aren't warned!!! They said when they opened the hostel that sex offendes wouldn't be housed there

The trouble is that they've got to go somewhere but nobody wants them near their house. If people were told that sex offenders were living at certain addresses there would be attacks and vigilante action.

Yes they need to go somewhere, but preferable away from parks and schools.

But why should kids be put at risk?? There was a lot of opposition to this hostel and it was promised that sex offenders would not be placed there!!

Yes, I agree. They shouldn't have temptation on their doorstep.
