Problem on Barry Road (about the chruch-like-building at the top)

[SarahO]

Hello all,

I have had an increasing worry about the chruch-like-building at the top of Barry Road, before the traffic lights. Sorry Im unsure what this place is, maybe a hostel?

I am an 18 year old girl and everytime I walk past this place to go to the bus stop for work, I am pestered by the men standing outside. I have been trying my best to ignore their comments and keep my head down, however last nigth I was coming home from a friends house (around 11pm) and one man stopped me in the street and said he'd seen me earlier in the day walking my dog (which is true) but of course I hadnt noticed him.

He asked me my name and I know I should have made one up but I just wanted to get home and I told him my real name. As I walked away he started shouting my name and saying 'I'll see you again!'

Now I am constantly worried about walking past this place incase this man shouts my name. I know I could get a 197 or a 12 to the top of the road but if Im in a hurry for work I dont want to be waiting around for a bus to go one stop.

Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else had been bothered by these people or if anyone has any ideas of what I can do?

Thanks.
