Is this antisocial behaviour?

For months now two neighbours repeatedly walk past my living room every day.
Their kids are back and forth after school and are constantly going past my window, at times they are shouting and it wakes up my twin babies.

I really feel it’s an invasion of privacy, they cut across instead of walking round.

They walk on my parking bay, playing hide and seek behind my car, play on a hooverboard, I told the parents kindly over the weekend to please refrain from walking/ playing across my parking bay as it wakes my kids up.

Todsy it has happened several times now.

Would this be classed as anti social behaviour?

Um.... No.

And I'd really hate to think how you'd cope with actual ASB.

When you say they “cut across” do you mean they’re walking on your front garden or similar rather than going further to the pavement/road? So on your property rather than the public areas?

@SilenceInside
Yea that’s right.

We need a diagram...

It’s not antisocial behaviour in the sense of the ASBO meaning, but it’s not very considerate behaviour.

You’d be better off looking at how to make a physical barrier rather than asking them not to, given that they have already ignored your request. Reasonable people who are even slightly considerate would not walk over someone else’s property. They have already shown you they’re not like that, so any further discussion with them is probably pointless.

@SilenceInside
A physical barrier would be ideal but it’s abit difficult as we have a small garden directly followed by our parking spaces.

Rose bushes with thorns.

Plant some of them along your boundary.

It’s rude, invasive and annoying but it’s not the aggressive destruction of about level.

Brambles and nettles grow fast. Garden furniture and a chain fence that unhooks will help. A beehive…
