This was also heard around the farmers land of Hull Grove Summers in the evening around 10 pm as well as earlier. It sounded like a round of pellets or something which were very loud. Then there's bloody druggies conducting their talking & smoking at the carpark behind my little back garden in which my bedroom window faces at 12.30 at night which woke me up & went on for a long while. I'm sick of reporting this activity going on of a night time with that awful smell as well as the loudness of them to police. All the police says is keep calling in so we can build up on this. Twice I have had to deal with this myself by asking them not to conduct their business almost under my bedroom window late at night & the repulsive smell of drugs floating into my windows & bedroom. What is wrong with these people go do it round where you live & not at Hull Grove. Harlow is becoming one big place where it's overtaken by the druggies & yet nothing being done. I have to have oxygen & a ventilator to breath & here I am amongst these low life parking up at the back of my garden talking amongst themselves & smoking drugs, which is a postage stamp in size the distance from them to me they are almost in the bedroom . These idiots obviously think because we are on the edge of Harlow out of the way from where they would be caught are very wrong & very stupid once in this particular car park at the top of Hull Grove "you are trapped" because if by ANY chance a police car should come round there would be NO way out. We never see police checking things out around here but maybe they should because it's becoming a very busy place for these cars & their occupants along with their drugs at night until early hours of the morning. I personally are sick of it so please do some drive rounds Hull Grove Sumners Estate. It's like living in a bloody

Proud Resident Thank you for your support, until the police start to do some proper active drives around estates & be seen by us the residents in doing so these groups that meet up in their cars in our carparks to talk amongst themselves about this that & the other whilst smoking drugs without a second thought about who's lifes they are disrespectfully disrupting are going to disrupt our lives with the awful repulsive smell of their drugs. The police put out to tell them about these activities yet that's about it because our policing of today do not follow through until it's too late so it's a waste time telling them. When they do act it's a little too late as problem escalates & someone has to suffer through lack of police listening. Harlow is becoming a gutter of low lifes & now it's happening in the very street I live in & I'm sick & tired of it ,then instead of catching these low lifes question us who take the law into our own hands. Well I'm not going to wait for the police to take their time so watch this space because I'm dam right sick of telling them as it's a waste of time & it's not about to change is it. We have some real out & out wimps that live in this world who hide behind skirts, curtains & doors well that's not me. The bigger they the harder they fall . I think that tells all who read this just how frustrated & angry I am in regarding these bloody druggies. Go do it in your own street don't come to ours.
