"Council" in the UK is basically government funded housing, yes? In the USA we call it "section 8" or "the projects".
The neighbors you describe, are they what the UK folks call "chavs"? Especially the drunken thugs on motor bikes?
We have plenty of similar types here in America.
I would say the neighbors probably have no opinion of you or don't even really know you exist. The reason is because riff raff types love to start trouble with anyone they do not like. If they leave you alone, that is a good sign.
As for getting out, I would say unless you can afford to move to a nicer area, you might be just as well off there. You could move to a different council place but it would likely be the same mess with different bad neighbors. Plus what if in the new neighborhood, the chavs didn't just leave you be?
