MY reaction to your front-page story about vandals leaving four Blackburn playgrounds closed for good (LT, July 15) is: same old, same old...

The scum have to understand that there will be consequences for their actions, and that is up to the justice system, which has been failing us for years. Once again, the decent majority have to suffer because of a few mindless types.

Keep letting them off and they’ll keep on doing it – it’s an easy concept to understand.

Why has CCTV not been set up to catch the mindless vandals?

What a shame, and what a waste of money.
