Problems listed by the elderly woman included bottles being smashed in the walkway after drinking sessions, beer cans thrown over the fence, eggs and rotten fruit being thrown against the side of her house and stones thrown at her garage door.
She had twice caught children climbing the fence into her property and her house had also been burgled.
The situation had come to a head recently when a bourbon bottle was smashed against her garage door and someone turned on her garden tap.
The council opted to try security lighting and perhaps a security camera to combat the problem caused by the youths.
Meeting chairman Kelvin Clout said if that failed they would consider closing the access way although council staff warned that a barrier would just become a challenge for children.
Councillor Steve Morris said it was the third time that residents had petitioned the council in the last 10 or 12 years.
He said a really bad element was intimidating residents.
