Message to residents of apartments

This message in from Patricia Hickey in Pembroke Grove:

Hi,
This message is principally for the apartment residents – i.e.
Pembroke Grove and Pembroke Avenue.  Perhaps you have noticed that
there has been considerably less “kids” activity in the car park/
courtyard area at the back of your apartments.  This is due (we
think) to the fact that a few (three) of us in the Grove have decided
to actually approach the kids and ask them kindly to move on – citing
damage to cars or houses and the disturbed sleeping of babies as a
reason that football/ skateboarding/ playing ghetto blasters is not
on.  The kids, for the most part, have been polite in their
compliance.  There has been the odd grumble but by and large they
have been okay.  This we feel is due to a couple of things.  

1)  In all instances, one of us has actually gone down to ground level (rather than shouting down from the balconies).

2) We have always said things like “Sorry, lads, you can’t play football hereanymore..” (in a very calm and polite tone)

3)When we’re here we don’t let them settle.. at the first bounce of a ball we show up.

Now it would be a great help if more people did the same. It’s not
fair to expect kids not to play in the area if we residents don’t
point out that it’s not a play area.  Us three who have been doing
this are not always here and I think it is necessary for the kids to
get consistent messages from all residents until the word gets out
that this is a ‘no go’ area.  When this message is finally accepted
we might all feel more comfortable using the space for what was
intended – a car park and hopefully enjoy peaceful summer evenings on
our balconies.

Patricia Hickey.
