A bench that is situated outside my bedroom window of my ground floor flat

The developers of the housing estate made the ridiculous decision to place public bench outside my ground floor flat, within touching distance of my bedroom window. For the past 2 years, I've been back & fourth with complaints to the council, only to be have just been told that Oxford CC Highways is now responsible for that land. The disruption that this bench causes us has now become unbearable. Youths & adults all congregate at the bench at all times of the day & night, causing his disruption with noise, alcohol and rubbish. When I'm alone, I find it very intimidating (especially at night) when a group of men are sat drinking on the bench, just feet away from where I'm trying to sleep. Getting the police to patrol the area (as has been suggested) is not the solution here. I would like the bench and bin removed as a matter of urgency and placed in a more appropriate place. You can see from my attached photo that my bedroom window is directly behind the bench.
