We moved here 3 months ago. One of the appeals of the place was a young childrens park literally the other side of the fence from our drive. We asked if there were any problems from the park at all and were told that no there were not, kids obviously use it though. Since we moved in we have had nothing but bother from teenagers in there. It is a residents only area that should be controlled with a coded gate that is broken. The fence was burned down last year and the management company have still not fixed it. It clearly stated no ball games on the entrance (as it is so close to houses - literally 2 car widths away is the fence to it from our house) We have kids playing football all the time in there, right up by our property, and the ball is kicked onto our drive all the time - the kids climb over the plants and the fence, they will not listen to reason when we have tried to politely ask them to go away and play elsewhere as they are causing a disturbance. The management company rarely return our calls or emails and when they do they never give us any answers. Apart from that we get the same groups of kids hanging about in there in the evenings on the swings, often drinking (underage) and littering the place so badly. We have called the police out so many times now it is getting embarrasing to ring them. Often they can not be bothered to come here anyway so the kids just stay put where they are and keep us away until all hours. The language is horrendous, the attitude is shocking - there is no way my kids will be allowed to behave like that when they grow up.
I am cross with the kids for making our lives hell
I am cross with the police for failing to act most of the time we ask for help
I am cross with the management company for being as useful as a chocolate teapot
I am cross with the people who sold us this house and told us there was no problem here.
Any advice gratefully received. I am seriously thinking of contacting a solicitor at the moment and I just want to cry right now. Oh and I contacted the council who were also useless. Took a lot of details and did nothing as far as I can tell.
