Do you have friends or family that have been affected by the London riots, or do you commute from Amersham into those London areas to work? Are you concerned about riots kicking off in Amersham? Let us know

My husband drives in everyday and works all across the capital. It takes quite a lot to put him on edge but he came back everyday saying what a weird atmosphere there is there, even now. People are understandably on edge and unsurprisingly there is a lot of anger about how the situation was dealt with. Hopefully we've seen the last of the violence but I think the wounds are going to take a really long time to heal.

We had a few responses from @AmershamPeople followers on Twitter about the London riots. Here's what they had to say:

@GuyBaber said it was 'unbelievable', yet joked about the sirens heard in Amersham being the local police 'just picking up their dominoes'.

@RickyVann said: 'It is absolutely disgusting! How could these mindless idiots destroy our country that we live in?'

@NickBubble said: 'shocking! Kids as young as 10 looting, where are their parents?'

When asked whether they think the Amersham community may see local rioting, our followers had this to say:

@AndreavonBerl simply said: 'no no no'

@Darkcityxx said: Chesham possibly, I doubt Amersham though. There is some tension in Chesham aimed at the mosque and surrounding area.'

@Robskinner told us his wife had asked if they should put the car in the garage.

ANYONE ELSE FEEL TENSE DURING THE LONDON RIOTS?
