Between my house and the house that I back onto there is an exceedingly narrow gap in the fence (not even a foot). The children from the house behind (and their friends I'd guess) keep coming into my garden, and then using my gate (leaving it unlocked) to run into the street. I've caught the children and told them not to come in my garden (well the one girl who was brave enough not to run away). They later came around and apologised and said it'd never happen again, which I accepted. I wasn't in any way horrible to these children. I've come home after working away to find the gate wide open again, and it's evident that they've not stopped. I want to talk to the parents, but could use some advice. I also wouldn't mind some advice on how to best fill the gap. It's so small I'm at a bit of a loss.
