A special young man

• TOMMY Winston would seem to have been quite a special young man. His family and neighbours only have good words to say about him and he has obviously left a favourable impression on all who knew him.

I was particularly touched to hear about how he helped rescue Susan Michie’s daughter from a lift where she was threatened by older boys (Tommy, we’ll never forget you, January 19).
Tommy’s mother also recounts how the police had once called to her to say that her son and a friend had helped out another girl who had been mugged, and that he’d held the guy responsible down until the police arrived (Tributes to a good son, January 12).
These stories about a youth who seemed to have been so exemplary is an inspiration not only for other youths, but the whole community. I would have been proud to have such a grandson.
His mother is right of course. There aren’t enough youth facilities in that part of town. Council estate after council estate are crammed together. Community facilities are constantly being closed down or reduced by a greedy, inconsiderate local council.
I would like to see some youth facility erected or revised in and around Talacre dedicated to Tommy Winston.
He should not have died in vain. Perhaps his death could help other young people in this area.
