What more can we fecking do!!! (long rant!) ** UPDATE**

Personally, I'd just keep reporting to the police as you have been, when they're free they'll come. I appreciate it's frustrating though. Might just be me, but I wouldn't contact the papers as I wouldn't want my area to get a 'reputation' ?

That sounds like a nightmare.....

I dont have experience but my first thought is contact your local council/ councilor...... Maybe you could get speed humps in the close ?

it's very frustrating. and i'm getting so sick of it. guess what they're over there now! and the girl that drives the car has no licence either ?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr shall i make a citizens arrest! ?

Report them now and ask for police presence because of the girl with no drivers licence. Maybe that may seem more important to them.

Sorry I feel for you, we have problems with kids drinking round our house and it took a lot of shouting to be heard!

Have you tried passing the details on to Crime Stoppers, as well as contacting the police ? I also agree with the suggestion of getting in contact with your local councellor.

I was about to suggest the same thing Orly. My first contact would be the local council, they may be able to do something or pressure the police to put more importance on it.

I'd go for contacting your local MP.

Can you take photos or a video? also make a diary of what happens, these will help

i called the police again this eve and reported them, they are still there. thye are clearly dealing as well as several cars come in meet them and leave minutes later. i now have a reference number and i can keep calling back quoting the reference number and it'll all be linked. will also start logging number plates cars and times.

Make notes of all the times of day and dates you ve called the police and they havent showed. then write to your MP, you local councillor, the mayor, the chief superintendant of your local force and quote it all.

i have done things like that before ?. works too.

makes u laugh really. they were all over a schoolgirl who drew a picture of a knife for a gun amnesty in the local papers getting pictures taken etc but wont accept a criminal commiting crime on a plate!

How do you know she hasn't got a license?

because my other neighbour knows her mum and also she's taking driving lessons

This has given me a brilliant mental image of mini teenage criminals, dealing drugs on a dinner plate. A white dinner plate.

Another vote for local councillor here. I'm a local govt monkey and believe me, when elected members start sniffing around specific local issues, officers like me are expected to take action, and fast. Linking to the crime number seems like a good move too.

Be careful about your own personal involvement though - particularly if lots of people come to know you are "on the case". As you've already found out with the non-licence-holder, it can be a small world.

My parents live down a country lane that goes nowhere and a while had problems with drug dealing although it fortunately died out pretty quickly. When they contacted the police they said they would come out if they were flytipping but not for drug dealing. Work that one out.

clearly fly tipping is waaaay more important!

well they've all gone now. no arrests but a few bits of paper handed out, i'm assuming producers and info that they've been searched. maybe that'll put em off for a bit!
