Default Where you live, nice or run down?

This maybe is a strange question/story. But bear with me, just thought I'd tell you guys right. I live in a small town in a valley called gatehouse of fleet, up until about 2008, it was a nice place to live, people were friendly, all the shops were open and generally it was a nice little peaceful town. Until the council built a row of houses called the DGHP housing, this is where the problems started. These houses were put in place for the homeless and "rough family's". First thing I thought was ohh bugger,

soon people began to change. The friendly people moved because of the tw@s that got shipped in... and the older folk went into old peoples homes. Neally all Our neighbours are abusive, loud or just rude, Now I hate this place. There's a horrible old cow who yells at me over the wall if I'm working on my t2 eg if I'm running the engine, using air and power tools, so to piss her off, I revved the engine at her when she walked past funny thing is, she has a little terrier that barks day and night and she won't stop it I used to go out on my bike a lot in the nice weather but now no longer can as I get stupid teenagers and "Chavs" shouting abuse and so on at me.

Only place I go is out of town. I've had my terrano damaged and a spot light smashed about 3 days after fitting them the police are about as useful as a chocolate teapot as a reported this and nothing happened. About a month ago I had rocks thrown at my t2 when I was inside it I jumped out, ran after the kids and threw rocks back.

A lot of the people were kids who bullied me at school, now I left, they attack my truck We are going to extend the driveway right back so my truck and caravan is in the back garden mums had the wing mirror smashed on her Honda jazz, taped it back on but someone keeps pulling it off late at night. One night I'm gonna sleep in my terrano and see who Is doing it, it's between 9:00pm and 1:00am I'm wanting a camera that detecs motion and start recording so I have evidence I'm also wanting to set up a CCTV system


So that's how I live , the area isn't bad, it's just the people who have been shipped into it anyone else on here live in these conditions personally I'd love to live in the country side

Hopefully these problems will go but my terrano seems to be ok now

Feel for you mate so I wont go on and on about how lucky I am living by the beach in west wales
As for barking dogs, there's an easy fix for that, although it'll cost you 29 quid. Get a "Bark Buster" you can plug it in at your house. It detects the yapping mutt and emits a high pitch noise that shuts up the dog. As soon is it stops barking the emission stops , and repeat until the dog learns. Takes a very short time
As far as vandalism goes, dont retaliat just spend your time nagging plod. Make the bastards work for their living and tell them to stop bothering me with hedge hiding anticx, bloody plod
Ah well it is nice here

Cheers. Obviously there's worst places to live alot of the people you ignore so they shouldn't bug you. This place isn't as bad at it was, but still annoying. Hopefully the buggered will move away as some of them did if we could afford a new house we'd move

thats a real shame, but a typical example of the government and local councils getting it wrong. its simply does NOT work mixing rouch chavvy ignorant idiots with decent people. Simple as.

I live in Huddersfield, so its a right mix. The particular area I live, thankfully, is quite peaceful, our cul-de-sac is decent and pretty quiet.

as make it suggests, id be on at the police as part of yoru daily routine-get up, have breakfast, call police. They are idle gits with a degree in excuses (im generalizing), all they want is to catch decent easy to charge people for offences such as defending themselves against actual criminals.

good luck dude, try to make your place the best you can.
