  I cannot believe how bad it is becoming in Pencester gardens.So much for the Police short lived campaign for zero tolerance.Theyre not on the streets anymore but back to good ol Pencester gardens.Theres now more than ever and can be seen daily,shouting n swearing and some with vicious dogs too.Maybe ol bill see it as out of sight,out of mind.Just take a look down by the river next time when passing through,or anywhere in the gardens.Fast becoming a real bad situation.

  Like before Andy the Old Bill to busy driving round in cars. When was the last time you see a Bobby on his own WALKING the streets?
  They may walk down the main street but never round the side roads and not after dark that's for sure. I came passed the Kids park at Tower Hamlets and yes there was Kids in there with cans of Lager etc, but the kids was about 13/14 upwards. This was about 5:00 in the evening. This time of the year my grandkids would love to go to the park before bedtime but how can they with this lot in them swearing and drinking. If you say any thing you are in the wrong and there are gangs of them girls as well just the same as the boys.
  
  Bring back the old bobby on the beat. Give them a good B******ing and take them home so the mother can deal with them.
  
  
  
  Rant over.

  It would be a brave bobby who would be willing to take one back to its mother, with the abuse that would provoke!!!

  I think the main problem is the lack of police officers, when the then new local commander brought in officers in numbers to deal with the day time drinking problem they must have come from somewhere else. All towns and cities have this problem and officers get shunted around leaving where they come from susceptible to anti social behaviour. Top police are saying that with more cuts envisaged officers will only be reactive rather than proactive.

  Re post 2, the main problem is the lack of parental responsibility.

  I thought we had these rules here too; nothing lasts forever, but less so here it seems.
