Playground at end of Rowleys Road
Just curious how many of you take your children to play at this playground area. We live somewhat close to this and are constantly disturbed in the evenings by loud/shouting teenagers on their way to a drunken stooper. Since when was it cool to get drunk at the local playground? My how times are changing!
The few times I have checked rubbish (beer cans, cider bottles, etc) have been left behind. My main concern is our children playing on this playground and the worries for their saftey. Not to mention the disruptive behaviour and noise that we have to listen to in the late afternoons and evenings is very unpleasant.
I wish there were a way to block this area off at night. It may help if the street lights were actually on. I have tried and tried to get someone out to turn these street lights on Rowleys Road for ages.... still nothing.
*sigh* suggestions? [V]

Belle - three things you need to do:
1. Contact your local Councillor now by writing/phoning him/her, explaining the problem that exists in his/her ward and keep on lobbying. Councillors are voted in, need I say more.
2. Highlight the problem to East Herts Council straight away so that it is recorded.
3. Find out who your local PCSO is and phone/write/email them when the problem starts again.
I complained about anti-social behaviour to my PCSO and just ring his mobile now when a problem 'kicks-off'. It is working for me as stats (or Performance Indicators as they are known) speak volumes to the top brass. The youths will soon move on, albeit to another area.

Update - In fact Belle, contact me via my profile, I have some further info for you which may help.

Getting drunk in public places has been going on for years!
Back in the mid 80's...Drunk on Hartham, the Castle Grounds, The Priory, Sele School, Simon Balle, Richard Hale, various car parks. It's possible to make a shorter list of the places me and my mates WEREN'T drunk.
Be grateful that you don't live near the 'supposed' play area on Sele Farm (Bentley Road?). A friend who shall remain nameless, but cleans it up, says that he regularly has to picks up discarded syringes and other drug related paraphinalia (hope I spelt that right).
I'd rather pick up bottles and cans, wouldn't you?
