It is with a heavy heart that I have to write how disgusted I am with some of Dovers teenagers.
The splendid new childrens play area is not even completed or open to the public yet but about 8 boys and girls aged 15-17 years old had clambered over the fence and were abusing the facilities.The youths were swinging as high as the could on the new circular swing,using the pulley to slide down the wire....3 at a time,smoking and drinking in the new tree house and tossing their cans and coke bottles everywhere.I counted at least 6 the other morning.
I really wanted to punch their lights out and for that I apologise...but I had Natascha with me so what can you do?.
With all the bloody money spent on the play area..£250k?..why o why can't someone on the cctv not telephone the law and get these kids pulled for tresspassing?
I give up.I expressed my concerns prior to its construction in that it was too close to the skate park but I was assured that it would not be a problem..rollocks..
Why can't we have a roaming Park Keeper who could oversee or supervise the towns parks?...No it's too much like common sense that's why..I feel sorry for the young of today I really do..they will never experience a happy carefree childhood..that so many of us remember with happiness.
Dover town Police are paid to police the area so get on with it.It's no use spending millions on CCTV cameras if the staff just ignore them.
