Come on here for a bit of a rant having still not calmed down from an incident with a neighbour last night.
I currently live with my parents in an ex council council house that they have owned for 31 years. Most properties are now owned by landlords and let out to students but we still have 3 housing association families in our culdersac
Approx 4 years ago a family were moved in. In a nut shell and without expressing my true feelings towards this family i will give you an overview / the father is a short fat aggressive drug dealer, the mother is his DV victim that can't live with him and can't live without and the kids noisy and have no hope but to grow up to be the same failings as their parents are. Their house looks like a tip, people constantly popping in to collect drugs, their dogs running loose, fouling in the street, barking etc.
Over the past 4 years my family have been the constant witness to his aggressive behaviour, abuse of her, his fights in the street at all hours. We have tried to keep our head down and not get involved but a few weeks ago he threatened my mother because she looked out the window to see him getting beaten up and funnily she didn't run out to help!
And that's where I lost the plot!!!!!
I called the police and as a result I have seen the council and now taking records of any antisocial behaviour over the next 4 weeks.
However it gets better.
Last night approx 7pm I was aware of an incident going on down the street. I then had a client arrive who was obviously shaken up. Turned out that she had seen one of this families terrified kids outside my address and asked if he was ok / to which the bloke has come out and started shouting at her telling her its none of her business. Obviously my client has then come in extremely upset for this traumatised child and that fact that she has just been verbally abused by this neighbour.
I immediately called the police and spend 15 mins calming her down before we could start. I then had to escort her to her car on her leaving as she was terrified.
As you can imagine I'm fuming. Not only has this family affected the personal life of myself and my family but now he is directly affecting my business.
- a few weeks back I had a new client, I had my window open as it was warm and we both heard him shout at his kids who are 9 and. 4 years " why don't you F off you fing c,,nts!!!"
I was so embarrassed and funnily I haven't seen her again.
I am trying to run a professional business but this family is ruining it.
If I was a new client arriving at my address to witness the constant goings on of this family I sure would never return.
My family have even thought of moving but don't have the money.
I am prepared to fight this family however have been told that the it's very unlikely for a court to move a family as they are just moving the problem.
As you can imagine I am extremely annoyed and upset that the council feel they can place families like this in our once lovely street, my tax goes towards supporting them and now they personally affect my business that I have worked hard to build.
Sorry rant over
