Who are the cause of rough Estates?

[TWR]

As spring is approaching, it's started, Dogs yapping in back yards, it always seems to be the rough ***'s that's the cause of this, I am by no means a Toff / Stuffed up / Snob / up my own rs, in your opinion who causes this/ should the council see to it that the rough one's are separated & not put together causing this annoyance? from a person that HAS LIVED on a council Estate.

I think wherever you live as Spring arrives the world gets brighter and louder.


Dogs are in the garden more, children play in the fresh air and get the dog excited , mowers and strimmers start up and so on.


Quite quiet all winter where I am , but as the weather picks up along come the Anglers, yelling across the water to each other and comparing catches, neighbours sit out on balconies and chat with a glass of wine.

Some wash their cars and have fun with the hosepipe chasing their little ones - nice to see life awake again after hibernation.

It all comes down to a general lowering of standards (so what's new?), plus people just being people. The world has always been the same. If councils start herding 'rough' people into enclosures, ghettos, or whatever, they'll be accused of being dictators, so that won't work. Let's just say, that's life.

I lived on a council estate until I was about 23 - when I left home.

It certainly wasn't rough, no unkempt gardens and no rusty cars sitting on the front lawn.

Suggests you no longer do so, so if you are still suffering these problems it suggests your owner/occupier neighbours are just as bad as your memories of living in Council Accommodation.
Maybe you need to go further upmarket!

It is not only on Council Estates that one encounters these problems, it's all down to anti-social behaviour, because these days some people just do not take others into account, all they think of is themselves.

[ummmm]

What should the council do when it comes to privately owned homes?

[Old_Geezer]

You don't want them separated and therefore a much larger portion of the population. Much better to put them all together so that they can annoy just each other.

[shoota]

Can anyone explain how uneven grass can cause a dog to bark please?

[Old_Geezer]

and therefore annoy a much

Like typed !!!!!!

When council houses were first built, anyone who wanted one had to prove they were in work and would look after it and pay the rent. These were proud people who took care of their home and surroundings. It was then decided I think in the seventies that councils were allowed herd all the riff-raff and great unwashed onto these estates. That was the start of the decline.

Council Privately owned / or private homes, I have only known problems from some Council rabble Ummmm. If I am wrong I will applogise.

[Mamyalynne]

I have never resided on a Council Estate but know many who have and they vary wildly.

My Daughter lives on one - people range from rough and ready through hard working middle income to retired people.

It gets lively at times but the place is neat and well kept and if anyone falls on hard times for whatever reason everyone rallies round.

[EcclesCake]

You are not seriously suggesting that yapping dogs are a feature exclusive to council estates???

Your post and poorly worked out argument really do not hold water.

[ummmm]

I've never experienced any bother (since I lived in a normal house) You'd get the occasional time that some are quite noisy on the way home from the pub but without realising it. And once...shock horror...the people opposite had a party and two ladies got into a screaming match. Rather amusing actually.

[tamborine]

No council estates near me but theres the posh river brigade, with their mahusive yachts moored up belting out AC/DC, barbie smoke & yapping dogs fouling and vomitting everywhere. Oh, and the planes ;)

[Baldric]

shoota,
It's *** Law mate!

[Ivorlittlein]

In my opinion,simple,Toerags,with no respect for anyone, if I am allowed to say that.

[anotheoldgit]

Council Estates? are they not now called, Social Housing Areas?

[ummmm]

No, AOG, they are council houses. Councils are not the only ones that supply housing so as a group they are 'social housing'

[Jackdaw33]

I agree with Dave50. In my neck of the woods you had to be recommended by a councillor.
