A reader contacted us on a poor attitude shown by a young couple in our community who when asked by an elderly lady for help shut the door in her face!
The lady was being abused by a group of teenagers as she walked home and she was so distressed she knocked on a door to request help in calling the police.
The couple concerned refused and with no compassion or kindness closed the door, leaving the lady in a very sorry state.
The pensioner rang Newton News and we assured her she just chose the wrong door as most people in Newton Aycliffe would have taken her in their home and helped.
The couple concerned should hang their head in shame!
