Re: children who play on our estate

Send them round to my street, they wouldn't last long, continual traffic up and down day and night.
That is why I have double glazing and secondary, it doesn't bother us now like when we first moved in.
Now we are very happy here, but it is not a good selling point, other than it is just a few minutes from all shops doctors etc.

Traffic - cant believe how much the roads have changed over recent years, the once quiet side roads - now packed with cars - so sad ....

Re: children who play on our estate

I had a problem last year with 'hedgehoppers' who made a right mess of parts of the hedge by flinging themselves into and on top of it. I had a few reasonably gentle words and they left it alone.

I hope I don't get the next generation this year - trouble is, they ruin the hedge, but if you rant and rave, they'll only carry on, as they can get a rise out of you - kids eh? But I do remember being young once myself................

Re: children who play on our estate

Now the fine weather has brought out the 6+ new kids that have moved in. We have a footpath from our parking place to the bungalows and houses opposite. They have decided to race up and down ringing bike bells, shouting, screaming and bouncing balls, leaning on my fence wire etc. I've told them off but no notice so, holly hedge here I come and borrow a stinger!

Re: children who play on our estate

As I have mentioned before, our flats are built along one side of the villages main car park, and at the moment there are around half a dozen cars, with all doors open, music blasting out of them all, and around 2 dozen youths shouting, cat calling, and blasting their horns, regardless of the fact that along three sizes of the car park are houses and flats with young kids probably trying to sleep at this time, elderly folk who are also trying to sleep.!!!

Re: children who play on our estate

I don't suppose the police would do anything if you called them! A town near to us had terrible anti-social behaviour problems, was on Tv, they now have sort of community officers that walk round in pairs, seems to work. Perhaps you council have an anti-social behaviour officer.

Twiz darlin' - a few strands of barbed wire on top of your fence will stop them leaning on it!!!
