  • Huddersfield is that? Sorry to hear about the attacks, utterly terrible. The Police have to do something, surely.

    If the MP's won't listen then go to the local papers / tv and generally kick up a fuss until someone listens.

    The police can't really do anything as we don't know specifically who it is. I did contact the daily mail but heard nothing back. If we go to local press that won't get us move, but make us a bigger target for exposing whats going on (grasses).

    And yes, huddersfield. I work there but live close.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!
  • Hi Misssarahleigh, so sorry to hear about your troubles.

    Just a thought, disagree if you like, but would it be possible for you to either:

    a) move out, mum get a 2 bed with your sister, move back in and claim overcrowding (might push you up the list a bit more as long as you don't mind moving too much)?
    b) is there anyone else, preferably male, who could move in with you to push the overcrowding issue? Also might help with the intimidation issue with the neighbours, some people are more than happy to terrorise a house full of women but back off if a big burly man comes into the picture.

    But that would mean, moving and then waiting to move again. gotta think of the effects on the little sister. she's already going to go to school and tell everyone that boys shop our windows with guns lol and why should we have to. I don't believe we should go to that extent when other people have the power to place us in a differnet home.

    b) is there anyone else, preferably male, who could move in with you to push the overcrowding issue? Also might help with the intimidation issue with the neighbours, some people are more than happy to terrorise a house full of women but back off if a big burly man comes into the picture.

    Won't make a difference. They have attacked grown men and target them just the same. Plus that will then mean less help as they will class the income of our home massive making us explain privet rented isn't an options (they seem to think getting a 3 bedroom house at £500 per month is easy to achieve. we don't have much money as it is otherwise wouldn't be working my !!!! off in a full time job and mystery shopping).

    Thanks for the idea's though. Trust me, been through every option. The only thing that will make us safe is the council moving us, which currently they will do, but not with any more priority than the average joe).

    Was Tern the one you have to do a clothes shop for your application? Have you done anything with a similar scenario already that you can use?
    It's really just for them to make sure you can fill out the report to their satisfaction, i.e. spelling, grammar, relevance etc.

    Therefore you could just make it up!!

    :D

    I know you've tried the council, did you try your MP. A letter or an email to them explaining the problem. My local MP sorted out a problem my daughter had with Edinburgh council with just one letter. Your problem might not get solved as easily but it might help. I know that councils and government depts up here hate getting MP letters. They have to respond to them and they usually try to avoid a second one.
  • Thanks for all your help guys. My MP is next on my list. Today i have declared war. I will inform you all of my succeess (hopefully)

    I'm just too polite to tell you what you can do with Haverhill!;)

    Your family's situation, Sarah, sounds like a nightmare. We seem to hear a lot about "Victim Support." Does Victim Support not do anything at all?
