It’s almost springtime and the clocks go back at the end of this month. Time to close the curtains.

Why? Because our summer is ruined by numerous ungainly local youths and children who play football (with leather case balls) and cricket (sometime with corkie balls) and run riot all over ours and other people’s gardens.

The parents tip their children on to the street at the earliest opportunity after school, and are then oblivious to any unruly behaviour, and any challenge is totally ignored.

The children snigger at our challenges and we are totally impotent.

Police are aware of the problems but appear as impotent as we are.

We are all getting increasingly frustrated.

Have any of your readers any suggestions as how to tackle our problem?
