Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbours are generally okay, but we have a lot of trouble with mess (rubbish everywhere, and by the bins and surroundings there's almost every day so much junk) and we also suffer from very cheeky screaming, swearing and mess-making, thing-destroying kids. Lately we also have a lot of trouble with junkies, tramps and other scum in the playground!!. Otherwise it's okay, right??
