Take a colour photo. Send it to the local press. Get a good egg with a swanky copier to run you off a few copies and fly paste them in strategic places, so the bignobs have to take note, and action, and the druggies wipe their dirty little asses elsewhere.

More shit on the dorrstep this morning.
We've had gangs of police round, and the council Anti-Social Behaviour Officer round as well.
Apparently the dispersal zone is being extended at the end of the month... but no more manpower to police it.
I will have to photograph it, since the safer neighbourhoods people are not answering their bloody phone and I don't want to preserve the evidence til they manage to get over here.
I've made so many calls it's starting to look as if I'm a loony old phoner-upper.
I had to leave a message on the safer safer neighbourhoods team's answer-machine last week about a doorstep offering, and it took them almost a week to come round to the house. terrific. The they spent an hour with us telling us they will be increasing patrols. That was yesterday. And so we wake up this morning to a broken window, and a shitty doorstep.
I will be in the garden today cutting down plants. I resent having to do so. We've lived in this house for nearly 20 years, we've never had these problems before.
What has ahppened in the last 9 months that has made this problem escalate?
Is it a result of the dispersal zone? Rushcroft Road is better, so our road is worse...? And if they extend the dispersal zone outward again, people in other roads will start experiencing the same problem for themselves?
So what's to be done?

We have discussed these measures, togehter and with the police.
A motion sensitive light will turn off once the movement has ceased, so once they're sitting on the doorstep, the light will go off and they are in darkness. If it's trained on the gate rather than the doorstep, any passer-by (and there are many on our street) will activate it. We sleep in the room above the front door, so bright lights clicking on and off will disturb our sleep (we don't want to get black-out curtains), not to mention the light pollution for our neighbours. The cops didn't seem to think a light would be much use. They certainly didn't encourage us to get one.
Our neighbours have porch lights and a large dog, and they also have Users using their front step.
We are currently weighing up the possibility of a webcam or similar.... I'd really truly rather not have to do this.
Locking the gate somehow... well then our lodgers have to negotiate the gate, and remember to lock it behind them. They are young, one of them tends to come home drunk fairly regularly, one of them carries band equipment in and out of the house late at night. And Milko comes round crack-of-dawn: he'd have to... what, have a key? Leave the milk outside the gate?
Plus our wall is not so high that it cannot be climbed over, if someone were determined to get into the garden.
No, I will not build a higher wall. I do not want to live in a gated compound.
ETA I suppose Milko could lean over the wall and leave the milk in the garden
It's not a civilised way to live, is it.I really resent the way I am having to change the way I live in response to the actions of a few skanky bastards.

oh no, thats really crappy, especially about your garden. have you written to your mp? ive done it by email once or twice and shes been quite helpful. I'm not sure how much she could actually do but it cant hurt and she should be made aware of the ripples these orders send out into the community
