Children riding scooters in the street very late, can we do anything?

j.e.j.

If it's private rented then there may well be a clause in the tenancy agreement about noise and being a nuisance to neighbours. However, some landlords only really care about collecting the rent money and do not concern themselves much about the behaviour of their tenants. See what the neighbourhood Police say and take it from there.

I also thought about a trip-wire in the alley where the little darlings go hurtling through on their scooters at all hours, but that would be naughty..:D

I did mention to hubby that I might super glue some lengths of bamboo across the foot path, just by accident you understand :whistle:

Oh that made me laugh - sorry I know I shouldn't.
Talk to you local pcso, they are very helpful, and note down times and dates etc.
Poor little b*ggers should be in bed.
Good luck.

plus there outside the house its not like they are cuasing trouble in another street

FGS james,first you think it's perfectly acceptable to shove soap into kids mouths to 'wash it out' and now you think there is nothing wrong,and there should be no concern over kids playing out this late?The mind boggles.It is not right!

James,kids should not be out playing that late at night.Whether on their own or with other kids.

Can you imagine what they'll be like in 5 years time, when the 13 year old is 18? I'd do everything to get them evicted now.

I would call social services about them being out so late, and the council about noise.

With such little sleep, I bet their schoolwork is suffering. Social services might already be aware of them, btw! I presume you know them by name if you know their ages. Personally, I'd probably tell the school too. Not their problem, but if they're battling with kids who have no comprehension of how their actions affect other people, or who have behaviour issued due to lack of sleep, they might be able to do something/at least talk to the parents.

Have you considered tying some wire across one side of the street to the other?
