I live in a semi located on a corner of a road and we are constantly
disturbed by youths sitting on the garden wall, drinking and shouting until
the early hours.

I solved the problem by putting railings along the top of my section of the
garden wall, but my neighbour (an old lady of 70-something) can not afford
anything like this.

You will find that if you approach them in a civil manner, they will
listen and act accordingly,

I would agree that this is a good initial idea but sometimes
preventative action is the only solution.
