We live in a crescent, in the middle of said crescent is a boggy marsh, full of dog turds and there was knotweed in there at one point.
Couple of new families with kids have moved in, and now want to turn that field into a park, ok not a bad idea, my little one would use it but the issues are, it is total NIMBY here, new park is just asking for the older degenerates to use it as a hang out spot, all our gardens back on to it, like all the other parks in the area (all of them) it will just become an antisocial place, rubbish everywhere, kids drinking, kids smoking weed, kids playing loud music and trying to set fire to the place.
But, they put a letter through our door asking us to join the Facebook group, no mention of the name of the group or anything, so it hasn't got much traction but we have just had another note through the door along the lines of "please join us for a meeting at 6pm on the 23rd so we can all discuss it"
No idea of where it was being held at all.
Anyway, it will never happen as it is a bog as we are built on marshland, the council have already shot the idea down before, there is risk of disturbing the soil for knotweed, I am tempted to find the group as then all the neighbours here can join it and ask the people who set it up, if they wouldn't mind cleaning up all the rubbish their kids leave down the little green on the street.

Tbf, my mum tried selling my little sister's prom dress on the local group - and my sis had a proper weirdo try to "chat" with her when she was working at the local ASDA.Something along the lines of "you looked a lot fitter in your dress" was the opener. Sis is not shy nor retiring, and responded 'forcefully'.
Fortunately for her, it's a smallish village - and her manager is a giant of a man who recognised the bloke from the pub, overheard and made it very clear if anything ever happened to her then the chap would not even be able to eat through a straw...
Opened my eyes, and we've been rather more cautious with selling off our teenage daughter's clobber.

That's a very smart move given the scum and lunatics I've had to deal with when selling things on FB marketplace before.
Oh god absolutely, it was more the complete removal of the head that really amused me as usually people just whack an emoji over the face. Kind of put me in mind of some kind of Halloween headless woman

My mate who does the council mowing, they wont go in there for 8 months of the year as machines just get stuck after pushing bow waves out.

No, we are built on marshland, we don't actually have a concrete foundation there is about a 4 ft drop into water if you lift our downstairs floor boards up, my garden is near enough underwater, so much so I had to install a pump system, even now the water is at patio height and the field is about 10" lower than our garden.

If you lift your floorboards, you look straight down 4 foot into water? What on earth?My mate who does the council mowing, they wont go in there for 8 months of the year as machines just get stuck after pushing bow waves out.
