Practical advice ? I can think of lots of practical advice. Do you want it proportional and reasonable , or selfish and cowardly ?

The kids are doing nothing wrong pre PM. The rule cuts both ways. I can wax lyrical about personal freedoms, local busybodies, unreasonable people usw if you like ?

The are playing football on an area designated for the purpose. Just because you don't like their choice of evening entertainment , what gives you the right to curtail it ?

If it really does bother you go and ask them to at least play a little quieter.

Dave. I reckon this is one area of life where you (luckily) lack experience. I have suffered with a similar situation and I can tell it can ruin your life if you let it. You even smile when it rains as you know the kids will stay indoors.

- Ask the kids nicely to play somewhere else. I usually ask then where they live, and when they tell me I ask then to play the games there. Often the kids innocently tell me that their parents won't let them play like this near their home.

- In the end moving may be the only answer. NEVER live near a playground! (or railway, autobahn, nightclub, tramline etc etc)

- If damage to property is involved, the property owner should advise the police...
