Why Do Youths Hang Around Lamp Posts?
35 Answers
The youths around my local area always seem to be hanging around the lamp post right outside my house. There isn't a bench there, or any form of wall to lean on. They just stand there.
I recently got in trouble for vandalism section 52 due to painting anti climb paint on the lamp post. The only reason I did this was because they sometimes jump over the shed in my back garden, hurtle down the concrete alley going past my back door to just stand by the post... So I put it on the shed also.
Sometimes they are there for hours smoking and playing their 'hip-hop'.
Does anyone have any idea what else i could try without jeopardising my situation regarding the vandalism.

Are they doing any harm Gherkins? Sometimes just asking them nicely to move on does the trick :-) as was the case with my neighbours kicking a ball around the street, bouncing it off my car!
If the noise is loud after 11pm you can call 101 to speak to your local police, they will dispatch someone to ask them to move on. A few nights of that will do the trick. Good luck.

They don't do any harm, except cause a slight bit of noise. I think the real issue is they slightly scare me, I don't know why it's the lamp post right next to my house, but it is intimidating. I would talk to them, but in all honesty anthronerd i'm slightly worried. Especially after the paint incident, they must know it's me because it's on my shed!
Jahulaye, it seems to work:

Like Maggie, we used to have a meeting place - it varied as to which part of town we were in - a bus stop, phone box,bench etc.
I've no doubt we were a little loud at times but nothing dreadful.
I've sworn never to get as vindictive as my Mum (bless her) after the Church next door became a Temple, she took to smearing jam on her front garden wall, as men had been sitting there in a row smoking their ciggies.
