Over the past 12 months since moving into the property we have experienced lots of problems with people using the footpath which leads from Fisher close onto Carsic road. The footpath itself is being used as a dog toilet and a litter bin, it is full of rubbish and broken bottles.Most of the fence panels have been damaged or graffited on. Also on 4 seperate occations over the past year i have witnessed humans urinating in the footpath.People are also riding illegal motor bikes through the footpath on a regular basis, all the times that i have witnessed this the riders havent once been wearing a helmet. Children who live on our street often play close to the footpath and with motorbikes being ridden through the footpath, it is a accident waiting to happen. People using the footpath are also using the garden on the side of my property as a dog toilet and litter bin aswell. I have also had to replace my outside light, next to my front door which has been smashed. On replacing it, the light lasted a total of two nights before it was smashed once again. Im not bothering to replace it this time, it will only get damaged again!! Over the past 12 months We have also had plants stolen from the side of front door and things put through our letter box on a number of occasions. Kids also keep knocking on our door and running off through the footpath. The footpath is making our lives a misery and we are considering moving home. Talking to other residents on the street they feel the same as we do. We all cannot see the purpose of the footpath, im sure people would rather walk the road way than put up with all the trouble the footpath causes. Thankyou for taking the time to read this.
