Im in Dennistoun Village these days. Although its quiet and peaceful generally, its just them pesky kids that hang around the wee park where the statue is that's causing this crap.
I am in the new build on Duke Street (1990) and we generally have a bad problem with Graffiti and vandalism in the Back Court area due to it's open plan (As is one of the few Grassy area's in Dennistoun) the weans all run about daft out there during the week but at the weekend it's a different matter but that only counts for during school term,
Right now there are about 5-6 young lads out the back just now drinking and if I phone the police they'll be long gone by the time they turn up so no longer see the point as they aren't generally being bad just a bit loud but that doesn't bother me, It's the getting up tomorrow and the close smells of piss and there are DSF (Duke Street Fleet) Menchies all over the bottom close.
The housing association (when they find out) take it upon themselves to come round, Take Picture's and then send us all letters about the vandalism and to keep the close doors locked......Which is Imf**kingpossible when half the time the front door is either Jammed Shut or Burst open,
And if you lock the Back Door you have to put up with your neighbours growling at you because their weans were out there playing and can't get back in.
If I follow the rules my neighbours Moan....If I ignore the rules my Housing Association Moans.
What's a tenant to do.
P.s Sorry for the rant I don't do it much but you've picked a nerve with this yin Marginal.
