Watton it is, average 5 stabbings a year, bombs being planted in buildings 1 feet from the police station, muggings, fights, the amount of racial tension is beyond belief, sad part is it is NOT the kids it is the parents, and of course this rubs off on the kids.
My friend and her family had to move from the estate after the repeatedly having windows smashed, car damaged, kept parked in front garden, kids being picked on etc, and all because she is portugese, she also works, is a school governor, hubby works, all speak near perfect english, ok she east snails but I forgive her that!!
On my estate of around 200 houses/bungalows there has been in a three month period, just what I personally know of two firebombed cars, 7 accidents hit and run, only damage not injury, at least 20 car break ins, burglaries count 9 that I know of, as well as other stuff broken windows etc, bits of car broken, stolen items, stolen cars number 9 that I am aware of.
Seems a peaceful estate but few get sleep at night, and a select few are very active.
Since x mas I have been threatened 4 times by gangs, a lady got so pissed off with one ringing the old dears bell and running off that she asked me to help.
She has chronic arthritis, her cat has lost an eye after being near kicked to death, witnessed by two "adults" for want of a better word driving by while three lads had the cat by the tail and were beating it.
I was there once putting up a shelf, when I saw the little shit coming down the path, around 17 y/o so I just swung door open and smacked him a few times, I thought once but mabel said 5 or 6 times!!
What is happening it is seriously worrying to me anyway, I couldn't drive by seeing a cat get beaten.
I had a attempted theft on my old sierra saw the little shits, as did two neighbours after I started shouting and they looked out, this was around midnight, but right under a street light, we saw the car they got in , we all gave the same details, it was a very distinctive car, what did plod do, don't know I'm still waiting 6 years later to hear.
GF had someone wallop her car in the high street, smashed her mirror to bits, she was in a stationary que of traffic, got number made complaint, he denied it and said different, but there were witnesses on our side, in front and behind, who we knew as chucking out time from school, he gives totally different version of events to his insurance co, totally contradicting himself, the net result no action against him for perverting the course of justice, we buy a new mirror.
No wonder Watton is becoming known as "attitude city", a neighbours son worries when he visits about his car etc, despite living in brixton!!
