I moved up here about 5 years ago as it is near where me and my husband work. It's never been he best place to live but I can't believe the mess and anti social behaviour thats going on now. You only have to walk up there to see dog dirt, rubbish (both on pavements and in private gardens), smashed windows, graffiti. It is disgusting !

Why don't people have the decency to pick grot out of their own gardens ? OK, they won't have thrown it there themselves but so what - have some respect for your area and your own property ! The more rubbish that accumulates the more 'normal' it becomes so perpetuating the cycle of people throwing crisp bags on the floor and residents just walking over them moaning 'well I didn't do it !'

As you can guess I am cross about this. I have a young daughter and what example is it to her generation. We teach her not to trash the town so she can't understand why so many other people don't care.

And what's going on with the window smashing thing ? Seems someone is targeting houses with an air rifle/pellet gun. Anyone have any idea who is responsible ?
