For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Ever wondered people act in this way in the first place? It's easy to sit on your high horse and slate people for 'behaving like yobs' or "chavs", not so easy to get to the root of the problems, and I don't think things have changed that dramatically in five years. If you report the crime, which you should do of course, the youths will be, or not be, reprimanded. If you campaign, write to your local MP, get local residents together to try and find something else for youths to do in the evenings, assuming that is the problem.
If the Council have done nothing, write again and copy in your local MP, believe me it helps!
Are any of them actually breaking any laws or causing public order offenses or is this just a case of them annoying you and bringing down the tone of your "very expensive" area....??
If they are not actually legally doing anything wrong then there is nothing you can do except be more tolerant. If they are breaking the law then call the police. The council will have no power to do anything anyway apart from lobby the local MP.
Or like I said before, if you know they are breaking the law or causing a public disturbance then call the police.
This is a classist issue as ignorant snobs have already put a label on these people by calling them "chavs". The definition of which being based on the assumption they are working class, ill educated and poor. Although this being true in a lot of cases all the majority of people that would fit into this "chav" category by description in my area are rich kids with nothing to do acting out and rebelling a little bit.
