Going downhill.

I've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

People who never talk to or help each other

Neighbours never say anything to others, it seems as if no one lives there and no one is cheerful, actually it seems as if they don't see the point in life at all or have problems in their family or household which they show, maybe also financial problems. There is a playground further down where no one sits anymore and there is a neighbourhood team and coffee afternoon in the area which is seriously unsafe because of the people who constantly gossip about each other, I hope the coffee afternoon stops immediately!
