If that is the case then that’s very dangerous. There have been multiple times when we’ve seen toddlers being shut out of the garden onto the road unsupervised. That’s bad enough as it is but not knowing who might be staying next door makes it 10 times worse especially when it’s easy for strangers to find out where they live
To be perfectly honest with you, I was more concerned about vulnerable people with anxiety and Sensory Processing Disorder having to put up with the cacophany of shrieking and banging that emanates from Chavford Manor all day and night but yes, you have a valid point there as well.
Oh my word do they not have a drive?!
It's controversial but I wouldn't necessarily want my (hypothetical!) kids to live next door to a hostel if I could help it. Another reason to curtail family size and be able to afford better/safer accommodation.
I have for many years worked supervising hostels and I can tell you from long experience that the residents of the hostels are a hell of a lot more likely to have reason to fear being attacked and vilified by their neighbours than any of the neighbours have to fear them.
We've had our windows put in, filthy graffiti emblazoned over our walls and drives, had residents chased down the street by marauding mobs of local youth. I and other staff have been subjected to tirades by their parents for having intervened to protect our clients. All people from "respectable" homes, I'm sure.
In several of the women's refuges, women and children who had just escaped from violent, abusive tormentors at home were often bullied so badly at school and berated so appallingly in the streets they had complete emotional breakdowns. When your safe haven turns out to be just another kind of torture chamber, it's kind of difficult to get your life back on track.
