Is it safe?

Is it safe anymore for children or even adults just to walk down the shop anymore? The answer probably no!
Nowadays teenagers drinking, pedofiles, murderers etc roaming our streets who's to say it's safe for anyone to walk down the streets? Where i come from without fail at the weekend there's always a crew of teenagers, with a bottle of cider in there hand drunk out there faces starting on any innocent person that walks by there way. Even on weekdays you can see them standing about causing trouble. It's not just the people that live around us we should be worried about but the shop owner aswell. Think about the business they are losing from people being scared to go to the shop. Without fail where i live the place are always at the little shop around the corner from me due to teenagers causing riots, smashing bottle outsides and disturbing neighbours. The community are scared to go to the shop at night because anything could happen to them, and on the news you here about murders, gangs abusing people etc and makes you think, why is nobody doing anything about this? We should be able to walk the streets feeling safe not threatened. This is where we live we shouldn't feel like we can't go anywhere because of what the consequences might be. Places like Macedonia, Auchmuty, and Leslie have to be the worse.

I lived in Macedonia, for 10 years, i never got any grief when i went to the shops but i seen it done to other people. Your scared to say anything incase they come after you but you have to. It wasn't until i was 13 i think that they put cameras in up at the Glenwood Centre, the main place for teenagers to hang about drinking etc... and since then it has got a tad better but nothing serious. The police turn up but by that time they just run away so really theres no point. I recently moved to auchmuty and thought it might be a better place to live, but infact i think it's worse than Macedonia. The front part where we live isn't bad atall, it's the back where the shop is that there is a problem. There are always teenagers drinking, the police are out nearly every night, and sometimes it's hard to sleep because there all at the back of the street shouting and balling causing chaos. Quite alot of old people live in the area aswell, and it's not fair on them having to put up with this. Auchmuty where i live, doesn't have camera's so the police only come when someone complains about it, which most people are scared to do, and if they do the people causing the trouble normally go away for a short while but always come back to cause the same trouble again. We should have this sorted by now, or atleast have an improvement. In auchmuty and any other place that doesn't already have camera's should get them installed then maybe this will improve the community and people will be less scared to walk down the street.
