To ask my neighbour to stop their kids running and riding their bikes all over my drive and garden?

[Shgytfgtf111]

I think I might well be being very unreasonable so I wanted a seconday opinion of that's OK! I live on a small cul de sac and there are two families on the street with young kids (there are 5 in total, all under 10). Thd kids play in the street which is no problem obviously, in fact I enjoy listening to them play.

The issue is that for the past few days they have started running about over people's gardens, riding their bikes on the drive and grass, squealing etc. I WFH and my dog goes mad at the window when they do it. It always seems to happen when I am on a work call too!

Would i BU to ask their parents to stop them using my garden like it's their own (especially when I'm working) or am I just a massive killjoy?

My house was also built 30 years ago and had a covenant stating no hedges/fences at the front. We planted a box hedge 15 years ago. I was fed up of the postman taking a short cut across our lawn infront of our living room window. A number of other houses also have hedges or picket fences. The ones that don't invariably have children walking across them. The covenants tend to be put in by builders so that the estate all looks neat and tidy to enable them to sell the houses. I very much doubt anyone would give two hoots if you put a low hedge/border/picket fence in after 30 years as long as it's not causing an issue with your view pulling off the driveway.
