Eastbourne’s young people should be congratulated, not abused
This afternoon I was in the town centre and saw four young teenagers stopping people to handout a leaflet They were very pleasant in attitude.
I was shocked to see an elderly man (probably about 70) rudely walk past saying, “I have got no time for your nonsense.”

I then heard one of the youngsters say, “I’ve had enough of this I’m going home.”
I stopped and spoke to the youngsters and they said that they’d had several people behaving rudely to them.
I told them how shocked I was and said I would write to the local paper about it.
They were aged 15 and 16.
