My eldest daughter has a serious, urgent situation and if anyone with any knowledge about this type of thing could help, please do.
The back ground is that she lived out of town for three years with her new baby, so hardly saw her friends.
The housing association then gave her a two bed flat in a street with another block of flats and houses all owned by them. About 20 addresses.
At first she was pretty selfish, a few parties, people round, noise etc (she was 20 and not had a chance to have people round for 3 years) Complaints were made to the association.
She then met her partner and settled down.
But the complaints still came.
This went on for a while.
I actually sneakily spied on her to see if she was being honest! She was.
A complaint was even made that I threatened someone - I didn't, I walked past this person, didn't even look at them!
She was offered mediation, accepted but the other person refused.
Finally someone came to my daughter and told her that she had been witness to a false complaint being made. She put it in writing to the association.
The complaints stopped for a while.
Then she started being raided by the police looking for drugs.
3 times! Nothing found.
Her relationship became volitile and her partner arrested for domestic violence. But she loves him, he was sorry, so she had him back.
Six weeks ago her partner (Will) died. An accidental overdose of heroin at his parents house.
He had only just started using it, playing around. Never at my daughters place. She hoped he would grow out of it.
Since then she has had loads of visitors, mainly people from the close. A lot of them are aged around 17ish (children of the neighbours). It was obvious to me they were using her grief and vulnerability for somewhere to go, but she insisted they weren't.
They were!
The police raided her flat again, four weeks after her partner died. They found heroin.
It must have been Wills, she was shocked it was there (and angry)
My daughter is no angel, she does smoke dope and uses cocaine occasionally. After Will died she used more frequently and drank quite a bit.
Anyway, because of finding a class A drug (about 1 gram) and various complaints the police have applied for a "crack House closure.
Luckily she managed to get it adjourned until Thursday.
The problem is that there has to be more than classA drugs to get this closure and the most of the things they have are not true!
The police have said there have been needles found in the close (first anyone knew of this was from the report) and I don't believe it. None of the people who go to my daughters or her use needles.
The report says her friends have broken the fence between the close and a pub backing on to it - but it's the young children kicking a ball against it.
The report has quite a few instances of police being called about noise, but when they arrived there was none.
Police called because my daughter had a kind of party for Wills birthday and there might be trouble, there wasn't.
Neighbours seeing my daughter dragging a 14 year old boy up the street, verbally abusing him (he is 18, had gone to her's very drunk to see if his friend was there, he wasn't, so then became aggressive and threw the drink he had over my daughter, so she did drag him up the street and left him there.
A known prostitute visits - her sister.
One of the neighbours got in to a fight with his friend. This is down as a complaint against my daughter as he is also frinends with her.
The woman opposite complaine she can hear music from my daughters but no complaints about the loud music being played by a closer neighbour. Incidently the woman in the house next to her can't hear my daughters music but does not want to get involved incase of repercussions! She came to me when I was visiting my daughter to say she is sorry, but she "licks arse or the victimisation" will happen to her
The people complaining say they are too scared of my daughter to put their names on the complaints (we know from what is written who they are, one is the person who lied before, another her 35+ son who lives with her, her daughter who lives in a house opposite, and an unknown 4th person)
The community police man just happened to be going round to all the individual addresses to see how things were (nice of him) he never came to my daughters. He has never followed up anything about the teengers the shooting a BB gun at the smaller children, never followed up unlicenced moped drivers living there nor the fence damaged by footballs etc, only complaints by these four people (three of them connected to each other)
He never came to see my daughter to say there have been any complaints.
When I went round there the other day, my daughter came out to see me, as soon as she did someone visiting a neighbour started shouting "crack dealer" "slut" etc. When my daughter walked over to her (not one to walk away) and shouted "I am not a crack dealer" the woman hit her! Then grabbed her hair, they had a fight. I phoned the police.
When the police came they said that it's her word against the other woman and as my daughter approached her, the court could see it as the other woman acting in self defence.
I am not a mother in denial, she is not an angel, but there are lies and exaggeration being told.
My daughter has got three letters from other neighbours to say all the complaints are rubbish, she does not make loads of noise and they know nothing about her, drugs or needles being found.
She needs to prove she does not deserve the closure.
The usual thing of innocent til proven guilty does not count in civil law.
We have a solicitor, who says while things look quite good for her, most, if not all closures go ahead, so he is not hopeful.
And during all this she is grieving her partner and does not want to fight it.
The problem is she has her 7 year old to think about and no-where else to live.
The social services have been involved but have no concerns at all.
Sorry this is so long.
Any help gratefully recieved,
