Forgive me if this is not the right forum, I'm not sure where else this fits in. The problem is: We have a "halfway-house" opposite us. This house is basically a short-let bedsit type house. A lot of the rooms are paid for by the council. And the tennants are not vetted in any way before they go in to the house. This has resulted in major disturbances for the properties close to this house, and we have thankfully had the support of the community police when it comes to getting the most troublesome residents moved on. I can't praise them enough!
But the probelm remains, the house is still there, the council still keeps on putting ASBO candidates in there, and we keep on being woken up at night by fights, screaming, police raids, the fire department coming to let some mentally ill person OUT (yes, it's happened a few times) of their room, parties with about 30 people shouting the street at 3 in the morning, the list goes on...
My question is: Does anyone know if we even have a leg to stand on when it comes to getting this house shut down? Any advice appreciated, this really is a major disturbance.
Only last night I wast kept awake around 12:30 am by some man screaming "Ali! LET ME IN" and banging on the door for a good 20 min. Thankfully I was not going to work the next day..
I am really at the end of my tedher, and I realy don't want to move - but with the constant disruptions I am starting to think I'll have to...
Any pointers gratefully received!
