WE would like to refute the allegations made concerning our youth rock night.

This event, held once a month, sometimes twice if there is a competition between bands, is an attempt to give the teenagers of Penketh and Sankey a night to enjoy music.

The evening is closely monitored in terms of who is allowed in, how they behave inside and upon leaving.

The problems around the park and shopping area are long-standing and well known to the authorities.

They are a different group of people and are in no way connected to our club.

In an attempt to reassure the letter writer and any other Penketh and Sankey resident, we invite people to our community fun day on September 10, where the committee will be on hand to hopefully address their concerns.

THE COMMITTEE Penketh and Sankey Royal British Legion
