PARENTS need to take a tougher and more responsible line with the petty vandals who are making the lives of St Brelade’s residents a misery, a Deputy has warned.

St Brelade Deputy Peter Troy says parents need to be aware of where their children are and impress upon them the menace of nuisance behaviour.’Elderly residents of Clos des Sables and Quennevais Park have contacted me regarding the noise disturbance, the throwing of eggs and other missiles at windows and cars,’ he added.
