IT comes as absolutely no surprise to people living in South Woodford that yobbish behaviour is flourishing in the wake of the opening of Funky Mojo.

Gangs of tikka-tinted girls and bleach-blonde lads have unsettled some of us who live nearby, including the large number of elderly people in the residential accommodation next-door to this place.

Redbridge Council should feel ashamed to have allowed such a ‘night-spot’ to open up where vulnerable people live, as the consequences are now plain to see for all.

After just a few weeks we have had one young lady permanently disfigured by some thug outside the front of the establishment, and many more minor drunken incidents that could erupt into something more serious at a moment’s notice.

I sincerely hope the council decides to revoke its licence at the next available opportunity before more innocent people get hurt or scared out of their wits.
