New estate in a crap area doesn't suddenly make it a nice area.
Vandalism in New Estate

Well it was a good estate for about 5-8 years after it was built and likely would have continued being if the council were a bit more selective of where they moved certain types of families to.
Stick it to the man. Time to get your bucket and spade out.

That's no use. You'd be better off with an Israeli West Bank Barrier!
Random, the same thing has happened in the new estate I am in in London.
Also used to be a college, now a huge site. For the first few years, the gate at end that backed on to a not so nice street was closed off, and there was only one way t enter the estate.
Now that everything is finished, they opened it up allowing thoroughfare, and there have been scrotes hanging about, causing trouble, breaking in to cars and whatnot.

Oddly enough crime in my street dropped dramatically when the train line was reinstated - cutting right though the street and making mine essentially a dead end with no pedestrian or traffic through-route.
It's rare to see pedestrians at all, literally perhaps 1 a month who hasn't noticed the dead end signs and fence they're walking toward. I totally sympathise with the OP but it's unlikely they'll reverse the decision and to be fair after a further period things will probably die down, I wouldn't' expect the police or council to offer much other than promises which they don't fulfil, such as "additional patrols" which rarely happens.

Where abouts in Derby? Doesn't happen to be the new estate on Goodsmore Rd or the new one where the old baseball ground used to be?

Oh god I hope I never have to live somewhere where I'm hoping for the presence of a PCSO.

Yes, that's the one. I have spoken with a couple of neighbours, who tell me the area used to be called Smackworth
Apparently out of the 2 footpaths recently created, only one of them had planning permission. So I am hoping that the council will show some kind of consistency, just like when there forcing homeowners to demolish extensions.
I don't see why they shouldn't be able to put the fence back and close the footpaths... is the development just housing or do you have new shops, doctor's surgery etc.. if its just housing and you've had issues since they created these paths/pulled down fencing then I really don't see the issue... why provide a short cut/easy access to the local youth from some nearby scum estate....

When we started looking at the development, they mentioned a new doctor's surgery, Fitness center and some local shops. But now they have sold the land to another company to build a further 200 homes on.

Council?
You can expect a room full of disinterested people who can't accept they're done something wrong.
Why should he have to move though
