2 doors down from me is a house that has been converted in to 4 individual bed sits, totally legally and beautifully done, and the landlord is a dream to speak to, however..
this house has been "aquired" by South Yorkshire Probation Service (i think) and is full of convicted criminals, mainly petty thieves etc, who are using it as a half-way house. There has been nothing but trouble since they arrived, I have had a window smashed (being compensated at £2.50 a month for that one) had flowers my my front garden trampled after they play ring a round the rosie with bottles of beer at 3am, and the neighbours are complaining about the loud parties and foul language at all hours.
The landlord has tried, he has gone in with Police accompaniment to speak to the "tenants" and tell them to behave, but he can't evict them as the Courts have ordered them to be there!
In my house there are 3 kids, next door there are 2 and next door but one there are 2 kids. Across the road there is a Sheltered Accomodation dealing with the elderly and adults with learning difficulties.
Every so often (2 weeks or so) the street is full with police cars as one of the lags has jumped bail or not shown up for court, and the police are carrying tazars. My kids have to walk past said house to get home, what would happen if one of them made a break for it?
Last night, about 1030 it started, shouting, effing and Jeffing as we say here, and a man walked up and down our road with a scaffolders pole, swinging it about and inviting every man in the street for "A rumble".
I called the police to be told they were "Aware" and to call back if it got worse.
Our man with the pole then had a stand up fight in the street with someone else out of the house and rewarded said person with the pole about his head. I called the police again and said "He's hit someone with the pole" to be told they were "Aware" and someone was en route, but could I (in my pyjamas I hasten to add) go out and see if the other person needed an ambulance.. with a drunk weilding a scaffolders pole... I won't write my response to that one, but phonetically the gist was foxtrot oscar!
I had a sleepless night waiting for my windows to smash in, and my hyper vigilance has increased to the point I am sitting in the living room with the curtains pulled incase there is another bang!
Moving is out of the question.. my question is.. How do we (as a community) complain about this?
We were never consulted about it being put there, and we are 7 miles from our nearest Police Station.. we have closer ones if the little darlings decide to play up between the hours of 830am and 4pm!
