A 117-year-old market has been left in dire need of repair after 'rampaging' youths climbed onto the roof and shouted abuse - but its owners have declared they do not want to see those responsible punished.

Dan added: "People tell us the parents of these kids are a waste of space - but we had two mums who came to us asking how they can teach their sons what they are doing is wrong. The market, which is widely seen as the heart of the community, is home to a variety of independent stalls and traders including a clothing boutique, homeware, haberdashery, kitchen equipment, antiques, books, plants and a greengrocers.
