    You'd get done for wasting police time.

    If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Get a bottle of champers and stroll in next door. I'm sure they're lovely friendly girls when you get to know them.

    This just seems to be rumour and innuendo to me tinged with racism. Nothing you have written is any evidence that they are working as prostitutes.

    Men speaking to them in their own language are more likely to be friends rather than punters. I would guess that the majority of punters would be English and both parties would be discrete.

    Stop being so nosey and blaming them for every car door that closes - what on earth you expect the Police to do about people using cars in your street is beyond me. It isn't a crime. Have you got super sensitive ears? Two hours sleep a night? What do you think people who live on main roads do?

    And just to cap it off you don't want to do anything 'official' (like what - east Europeans using a car isn't illegal) because you want to sell to someone else without informing them that you only get two hours sleep a night! What a delightful person you are. I wonder what the East Europeans think of you - maybe they have heard that British nosey bigots all carry knives.
    No racism - for your information I am not English either! Evidence that they are working as prostitutes - young girls being visited by several men during the day for a few hours then leave - the noises I hear are not language lessons, I can assure you!! And the landlord KNOWS they are working as such, he told me when I first contacted him about the problem. And judging by the shoulting and arguing that goes on night after night I would say they are far from friends.

    No I have not got super sensitive ears - but when car doors are slammed outside your bedroom window, the driver then hammers on their door, then sits outside sounding his horn at 3am and the police don't want to know - what am I supposed to do? Turn over and think 'bless, it's those lovely neighbours out for the night again?' At least people who live on a main road know what they are letting themselves in for, all this has only been a problem since the current tenants moved in.

    Eastern europeans using a car I haven't got a problem with - it's using a car that has bald tyres and no tax that I have a problem with! It's only recently that all this has escalated to this extent - prior to this they have been noisy, but then so have most of the tenants before them - only I'm sure you'll agree there are 'acceptable' levels of noise and time to be making it. I didn't want to make my complaint 'official' because I didn't want to antagonise the landlord, but his lack of action has made me take action - of course I will declare the problems I've had, but by then there will be new tenants anyway.

    And for your information I am not a 'nosey' neighbour or 'delightful' or a 'bigot' - I'm just trying to get a resolution to a situation I find myself in.

    Hmm, lots of landlord bashing, even though it seems the police have already been round with his permission and found nothing?
    So, how exactly do people htink he'll be done for immoral earnings if he's had the plod round and their hands are tied?
    And why all the smut and innuendo?

    I can't wait for these tenants to post their story.

    "My landlord wants me out, says there's rumours about me locally and neighbours are complaining"

    Cue replies - "He should keep his nose out"; "Nosey neighbours"; "Your private life is private"; and finally "Don't go without a fight, he'll have to take you to court". Many of these lines have been posted by some of the people on this thread in the past, but then again some people just say the same things with the same bias regardless of the situation.

    I think it's plod you need to get busy with, they have a bit more power than the landlord. If they can't prove anything, the tenants can dig their heels in for some time
    When the police visited the house initially, they were being 'collected' every day and taken off the premises, it's only recently that the male visitors have been calling in large numbers. The police have agreed with me today that there's definately 'something' going on at the house and will be keeping an eye on the premises.

    Nothing that has been posted is evidence of prostitution - it is simply rumour and innuendo about outsiders. If most of the visitors are speaking a foreign language I would guess they are part of the residents extended family or community who - being alone in a foreign country - are helping each other out and spending time with each other. Their house may be a social hub.
    That was the case with the family who lived here previously, they had many visitors, always with young children, and you would not know they were there. They were polite, we spoke most days (although not much as their English was not that good) and were lovely neighbours

    I doubt prostitutes and punters would be shouting across the street loud enough to wake the neighbours as they wave goodbye. And the punters are likely to be English.
    The punters are definately not English, and they do shout all the time, because they are arrogant and rude, they have no regard for anyone, they park where they like, when they like, including on the hard standing on the front garden of my disabled neighbour! They told him to F off when he politely asked if they would move.

    Nothing I have read is evidence of anything illegal or even a noise nuisance that the council could do something about.
    Not a noise nuisance? Then you want to be here between 11pm - 6am and hear what we hear.

    I suggest less gossiping about outsiders. Why not make friends and ask them who their visitors are? Then invest in a pair of ear plugs if you are such a light sleeper and stop curtain twitching and get on with your own life.
    Make freinds? When the police have warned us not to approach them? For your information I always speak to new neighbours, I can name all of the ones near us, new and old - but these tenants just sneered at us when I spoke to them after they moved in and regularly spit in our front garden as they walk past. I do not 'curtain twitch', there is no need when they are creating such a disturbance. I'd love to get on with my own life, I have enough to do, but surely I have a right to peace and quiet in my own home and not the racket we get subjected to on a regular basis? It's not only me it affects, several other neighbours have been and complained to the landlord too.

    I hope I have justified myself to you sufficiently now for you to stop slagging me off?

  • i wouldn't bite to any of the posts who clearly don't grasp what your situation is - they're honestly not worth it! anyway, nowt wrong with curtain twitching even if you were - there is always someone on the street doing it to know what's going on and every always wants to hear! when we've had prostitutes and pimps on the driveway we've heard them and been at the window and reported it - without that kind of action from everyone in the area, the situation would not have improved.

    We just found out one of the flats next door is double occupied, that is one set of people working nightshifts, the other day shifts :eek: This kind of thing DOES create trouble cos it means there is ALWAYs noise at any time of day and cars coming and going at all times. They thought nothing of getting drunk outside at 9.30am one day!
