A grandmother is giving her 13 and 16-year-old granddaughters rape alarms because groups of single men from the Wethersfield asylum site are bussed into town every day. Residents describe being surrounded, wolf-whistled, and told what men would like to do to them on the high street. One pensioner says she was followed after collecting her pension. Shoppers stay away. The centre feels like a ghost town. This is a market town in England in 2026. When girls need rape alarms to walk through their own high street, the country has already changed. The question is whether anyone in power will admit it.
