People sitting on my wall

[Bottomsonwalls]

A couple of times a month I come
home to find someone casually sitting on my wall, during the day. Is this fine? It bothers me but I can’t really say why it bothers me, other than it being MY walk (but perhaps that’s petty?)

we also get drunk people sitting on our wall in the evening but that’s much rarer (it’s also a lot more annoying but again not sure what I can do about it as I don’t really want to confront drunk people at 1am)

You should only have had to tell them once. If they're still doing it, you're a permissive parent and your kids poorly behaved. They should not think for one moment walking on someone's wall is appropriate.

Waronslugs thanks for your nice posts! :-)
I know it sounds really bonkers but generally I feel safe and I like where I live but to set the context I live in a busy terraced street with local children running around playing games and people coming and going all the time.

There's a massive family that has weekly parties which annoys other neighbours and I think the annoying people that drunkenly sit on my wall now and then overspill from there. I've told them to move on and they do but it is irritating hearing them and clearing up their rubbish!

That family are well known to the police and council having generated complaints from other neighbours.

There is a known drugs problem in the area and a house rented out as temporary accomodation for drug addicts a few doors down so I think the heroin addicts were linked to that but have since moved.
I was at work and a neighbour later told me about it happening. I don't know if they were just drinking and I feel a bit sorry for them in a way but there's a sense a lot of people see others houses as public property now and I can't understand why they don't sit by their own house!

I'm not sure who dropped the cocaine
maybe a party goer, addict or someone lobbed it there if they saw police.

I told the children to not set off fireworks too (again why not do it outside
their house) and they ran off worried but I don't think they've been taught any better. They were setting them off all down the street.

Generally I feel safe and like where I live, there's a lot of young families and things
to do nearby but I was highlighting what it's like for many of us due to the comment about tories having nothing better to do than moan about wall sitters! :-) The rubbish thing and noise are the two worst offenders I think and it just grates over time!
