Troubled times. and maintenance now

Currently it is fairly quiet. But we have had a lot of nuisance from loitering youths for a very long time. Many elderly people live here and they don't dare to go out in the dark. Many complaints were reported but they were passed from pillar to post. Thanks to intervention by residents, it is now a lot quieter. Still, many people dread the holidays. And the person who always maintained the greenery was much better. The neighbourhood was much better maintained and looked tidier. And work every few months that just goes on shows poor planning. And that certainly doesn't contribute to peace and security for the elderly. We also never see a community support officer or police in the neighbourhood that we can talk to. In the park, dogs must be on a lead, but you get run off your feet by cyclists. People with walkers and mobility scooters suffer a lot from this. It is a pedestrian area there, but everyone cycles through it at full speed. The pedestrian area signs also disappear like snow in the sun.
