Hi everyone I Need Help again

TBH I think you are fortunate the council are not looking to you for the full cost of the damage. Why should the cost fall on council tax-payers?

Maybe not, if you have a young teenager who has been given/then sold drugs by a teenage drug dealer........

I've two 13yr old sons, and now watch them closer than I ever did when they were 3 yrs old !

When they were little, we were their world...but now, the real world is tugging at them and it frightens me

OP your son, your problem....Drug dealers no matter what age or what they are dealing are scum, they contribute to ruining the lives of the people they deal to and their families.
Instead of coming on here to ask how you can get out of paying for a door the police so rightly smashed in...(chain saw..really?), you should be spending your free time looking for help for his self inflicted problems.
I just hope your youngest learns from his brothers mistakes.

Look on it this way. It could have been his drug cohorts breaking down the door to come shoot him. If it's a council house you're lucky not to be chucked out for allowing dealing. You need to have a good talk with him and then use the various agencies for his rehab. :cool:

The only rehab the son will be getting is a stretch at Her Majesty's Pleasure!

Are you allowed to deal drugs out of a council house? Personally I would mortified and would pay the £500 ASAP. But I'm old school.

I would imagine you're "not allowed" to deal drugs out of anywhere...!;)

But I know what you mean - I can't answer for council tenants, but I live in a Housing Association property on an assured tenancy and one of the clauses specifically referred to as breaking that AT is drug-dealing (either by me or anyone living with me). I know of other locations managed by my HA where they have evicted people for this very reason. Quite right too.

Why should deserving people have to carry on waiting on lengthy housing lists for a property while drug-peddling louts are taking up a place...?

wow people I'm being misunderstood,I come from a family of police inspectors and the way I was raised is completely different from today's kids,couple of months ago one of my sons friend got arrested for weed and i was there, so since that i was on my son a lot and he knew I told him u get involved with that thing ill take u to the police my self, there was never drugs on my flat, and those officers they new me because everyday something happens in this estate and I always talked to them about what is going on what happens to make sure that my son was not involved or anything,

lumja

and my point is the POLICE INTELLIGENCE should have been used on the bigger fishes that I see them hanging around the estate on their fancy cars and asking young boys U WANNA MAKE SOME CASH, but is all politics

So he is on remand for not dealing with drugs and attempting to sell to undercover police? That's what you said on your first post :-

On the 28th of may It was the worst day of my life,at 06;00 I heard a loud bang screaming I was confused I got up straight in the hall in front of the door and I realize police are trying to get inn,I was so scared I will never forget that day,they were banging the door and the glass and pieces of wood were flying towards me I wanted to go and open the door but I was scared and I kept saying stop Ill open the door but no they had to use a chain saw and it took them more than 3-4 minutes to get in,talk about POLICE INTELLIGENCE,it would have been easy for me to open the door and quickly for them to get inn and I wouldn't be in this mess now,. Council now wants 500,1/3 of it from me to replace the door,and I don't think is right,If I had 5 millions on my I still would hesitate because I was begin them to stop-Ill open the door but no,and If I had drugs or cash I had at least 3-4 minutes to eat them it just ridiculous,then I found out they had followed all this boys from this estate for 5 months and that got me even more cross POLICE INTELLIGENCE should have known that in this flat lives a lady with no criminal record no drugs no alcohol and two young boys ok the oldest one got him self involved with drugs but be more considerate with us and they know me very well those officers who are always around the estate,since my son left school he was most of the time out no job, I knew something is going to happen so I was all the time out looking for him I had searched him all the time my self,told him talked to him I was on his back day and night because I see what is going on around hear, but he just didn't want to listen and he sold drugs to under covers, now he is on remand and he turned 18,two weeks after he was arrested. I wish to god no one has to go through something like this,the pain is just to much for me.
and this is the reason that I feel it is not fair to make me pay for the door, they should bill the police

So which is it?
