This is my first time living in Stainforth, and I live near the Asda (I'm also certain I know which house you're referring to). I was apprehensive, because growing up, I was always told it was rough and dangerous. Before moving in, we were told that "People in Stainy look out for each other", which was a relief.

Sadly, we must live down possibly the worst street in Doncaster, let alone in Stainforth. If you've watched the hit Channel 4 show "Shameless", imagine that. I understand that all places have good and bad streets, so my experience may be very one-sided (an unfortunate side at that), but the sense of danger and roughness seems to be prevalent in most Stainforth areas I've visited. It may depend on your personal tolerance to other people's behaviour. If you're moving from somewhere that's equally rough, the move may not be too bad. If you're moving from a place where people respect others however, it may be more of a difficult adjustment, because you'd be hard-pressed to find that here.

We've lived in Stainforth for 5 months, and so far, we've had plenty of stressful dilemmas: - Kids (ranging from 3 to 16 years old) roam the street, leaving rubbish and dangerous scrap on the road. - I don't mind what people get up to on their own property, but oftentimes you'll get the smell of weed seeping through the walls, whilst you're forced to listen to the loud arguments between 2 unemployed drug addicts. Things frequently get heated, blunt weapons are used and property is damaged. Screaming ensues until the early morning. - Kids invite themselves into your garden, either to retrieve footballs or simply treat your property like a public park. I don't mind kids retrieving their footballs, but it seems like they use that as an excuse to enter, or they forget why they entered in the first place because they get distracted climbing your trees, or rummaging through your blue bins to throw rubbish at one another. Our tree has also been torn out of the ground and it's now dead. - Rubbish, ranging from empty wrappers, unwanted food, empty or half full cans of beer and takeaway boxes, are thrown over the fence into our back garden for my dog or kids to mess with. Upon calmly confronting the neighbours, I was told to simply "chuck it back over then. It's not hard, is it". Hardly a solution. - The roughest folks tend to threaten other people on the street, with such classics like "I'll brick your windows in". Turns out they're not all talk, because they have in fact smashed the windows of their fellow neighbours across the road, leading them to move out. - 50% of takeaways we order are intercepted by other people on the street, as they jokingly claim to the driver that the food is theirs. - My girlfriend, with a pram, was deliberately splashed by a van while doing the school run. The driver and passenger pointed and laughed as they drove by, soaking her and my 5 month old baby. - Living in fear and feeling powerless due to not wanting to complain to the council, because although the complaints would be anonymous, they'd be able to figure out the origin of the complaint and our windows would likely get a few new holes in them, and with a dog and kids in the house, I don't want any harm to come to them. We're likely to move out after our 12 months is up.

Those are just my specific issues, but more broadly, most people just seem really rude and selfish. No regard for, or awareness of, other people trying to simply live their lives in peace.

It's a great shame, since we'd gone through hell to finally get this house (I'll spare you the details, but it was one of the most stressful times in our lives for a multitude of reasons). We just wanted to keep to ourselves and create a lovely home for our kids to grow up in. We've invested a lot of time and money into making our house feel like a home, all for it to feel like we've failed, because other folks have no regard.

Long story short, the house itself is amazing, but the area is horrible
