The Evening Post reports that the local Neighbourhood Watch has called for measures including an anti-social behaviour order to be imposed on Bradley Stoke.
The Jubilee Neighbourhood Watch scheme, in the Savages Wood area of Bradley Stoke, have kept a diary of incidents.
The incidents include children being harassed, cars being damaged, groups of youths drinking on Savages Wood Road and cars being driven dangerously.
Many of the problems highlighted are similar to those highlighted by the Bradley Stoke Examiner over the past eight months.
A statement by the group says: “The police have been working to address this issue and we are grateful for their efforts, but it is getting out of hand and we need to have more radical action.”

I live in South B. S. and during school holidays have a lot of trouble with children playing on my property. This involves things like skateboarding in my driveway, setting up boom boxes under my livingroom window during the skateboarding sessions, and playing and having picnics in my small front garden. They damage my flowers, have stolen my solar lights and look right into my window and tease my dog.
When I’ve confronted them, the told me they like my property best because it’s on the corner and has a nice slope for their activities. They quoted various sources regarding children’s rights to play. As the children are quite young, I can only imagine these attitudes come from the parents.
As long as parents don’t bring up their children to respect others, there will be a problem with the same kids when they become teenagers.
