Comments

Hmmmm - Mr Blair's 'Respect' initiative still has a way to go doesn't it.
Unfortunately the kids are only as good as the parents. And some of those should have been sterilised at birthIf you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -
Grow some spikey plants and train them up the fence.
Bramble is good.Im training some along my fence as we had kid problems last year.
We have hawthorns growing in our garden and I cut branches and wove them in and out of the wire where the kids were getting over too.
There are some quite nice spikey hedging plants your dad could use in his hedge too.Holly,Darwinii .0 -
Council tenants, well there you go just ring the council.Nothing to see here, move along.0

oh yeh and wait weeks for them to get back to you and then weeks for them to think abt a solution and again a few more weeks while they talk things over with the council tenant and then a few more weeks to tell you sorry but no can help... been there done that..Coveredinbees!!!! wrote:Council tenants, well there you go just ring the council.Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
Are thinking of you today.0 -
put up some bamboo screening (2mtr tall from B+Q) not only gives you a nice look in the garden but also extremely difficult to climb over. as suggested before use a camera on your garden only (keeping the fencing in view) as if the kids wreck it...you can sue for criminal damage/vandalism then the council may WANT to get involvedfatblokexl:EasterBun:0

Just thought I'd add my 2p
Just so no-one thinks it's your age... I'm a 23yr old who is constantly screaming at kids - mainly my own scouts, however on occasion (with increasing frequency) we're being vandalised by little sods! (Sod is a scout term, that being familiar to a lump of 'sod' (earth) :rotfl: )
Anyway, with the increasing publicity towards our cause has caused a number of extra events...
So what are we doing?
Reporting to the police on every occurance
Anti-climb paint
Security lights
We're building a 10ft metal spikey fence! Why not do that for yourselves? sure it won't be pretty but being alloy tall and spikey they won't do it twice... and when the council tenant complains just tell her it's the only economical replacement when you're living next to monkies.
pffff....Tim0 -

Fences over 2 metres high require planning permission.0 -
Indeed they do! - not a problem when the next door neighbour has a 3metre one and the train station where the trouble comes from is about another 2 metres higher than that!Tim0

Carpet gripper nailed along the top edge of the fence will work wonders..cheap too!0
