I FOUND D Pratt’s letter about the PCSOs (LT, April 11) very amusing.

My reply to him is that it’s all about the powers and knowing where and when anti-social behaviour is taking place.

Also, it’s about making the streets safe day and night.

But the PCSOs will never have any powers to deal with these issues. It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money having them on the streets.
