In a letter to council, Helen Campbell says young people are treating residents of the building at 61 Ash St. with "utter contempt". Mrs. Campbell, who says she wrote the letter on behalf of residents in the build- ing, said kids congregate to ride bikes and skateboards, vandalize cars, and even taunt residents. "If the parents cannot control or don't care about these young people, we feel that some measures have to be taken," she writes.
