Help with nightmare neighbours

Hi,

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place?

After some advice for my mother who was physically assaulted my her nighbour at the weekend.

I don't want to go into the full story but it has been an ongoing issue which has now come to a head and my mother, along with all other residents wish for them to be evicted (I believe they were evicted from previous address).

So far my mother has contacted;
Housing department, she has to send a letter of complaint.
Anti social officer for the area, who she is awaiting a call back from to arrange a visit
Local MP office, they are going to draft a letter on her behalf to the local housing office
I am also going to send a letter to the housing department voicing my concerns for my family.

The police are obviosuly now involved after the incident at the weekend. They are already well aware of the offenders.

A neighbour has also suggested a petition for local residents and I have offered to draw this up, is there a good site for templates?

CCTV has also been ordrered just a shame it wasn't installed before this happenend. Photos have been taken of all injuries.

My mum is at the end of her tether with these neighbours who seem intent on causing trouble for no apparent reason.

Is there anything else anyone can suggest that we could do that I haven't mentioned already?

    Bless her! How old is your mum? Hope she is ok.

    Sounds like you are doing all the right things though.

  • That's awful, I hope your mum is ok.

    So people can terrorise people get evicted then get housed again where they can terrorise more people. :cool:

    People like that should lose they're right to be housed. :mad:

    She's in her mid 40's (looks younger mind you :) ) her injuries from this attack are horrific. Don't want to post too many details on here though.
    Luckily my young brother was not at home at the time but he witnessed the aftermath. He is primary school age and these so called adults even stoop so low as to call him names as he is playing outside.
