    Thanks for the info on mosquito system-will defo be looking into it

    I am going to contact the local authority too, last year the school asked me to take pictures of the offending girls-they were year 11s, so I had hoped it was just a select group, but lo and behold the year 10s of last year have stepped up to take their place.

    I wish I could show the parents what their little darlings are like at times......

    I am only speaking personally here but i would give those kids a slap and risk the charge, but if you got a camera capable of recording video then i'd use that as proof.
  • When they gather outside play classical music very loudly. They will react like vampires exposed to sunlight and garlic.
  • I bet your landlady couldn't sell the place and that's why it was up for rent.......

    My landlady is furious, but she can't do anything either, I don't know what I am meant to do, I just want to live in peace without having the property congregated around, spat on and damaged, not to mention the rubbish left at the door and the back chat for asking them to move.:mad::mad:


    Move? I don't understand why people who rent put up with !!!!!! like this.
    I rented, had nightmare neighbours so rented somewhere else.

    Its a different kettle of fish if you own and have to sell but why would you stay and get stressed??
    If its for the cheap rent then thats why its cheap.

    I would try this before the mosquito thing - its cheaper, and its nicer on the folks who just walk past but are still young enough to hear it, I imagine being near a school you would have plenty of nice young kids walking past as well as the annoying ones.

    I have tried renting elsewhere-the area I live is quite high demand so houses go quickly-plus the house and landlady are perfect for us-why should I be forced about by kids with no respect or manners?

  • Maybe I'm misunderstanding (or not read it close enough), but what, exactly, are the school supposed to do if this is happening outside of school-hours? What do you want them to do? For all means get the police involved though.

    In my local area kids are let loose on lunchtimes and in school uniform, and our local school say they are responsible as they are in school hours and in uniform. I'd say that the classical music would scare them away, but a good 4x2 would do the trick. LOL
