    As Wilfred said and as I did, you won't be able to get it.  If you could it would be so redacted it is useless and you will have wasted time battling for the information.  I know where I work, you wouldn't get it.  You might find an MP or local councillor might have some knowledge of issues though, could be worth an email.
    If you are an experienced and qualified child councillor etc, then get your friend to make a complaint and use you as an expert witness on how this behaviour is detrimentally affecting the child.  This will either make the said council take action against them or be more helpful to moving your friend (probably the quickest solution).
    Housing Associations and Councils can and will try to evict people for tenancy breaches, which as you know from your own experience goes through court.  Your friends might not want the stress of this as well, that is assuming the courts are even still processing these type of eviction.
    At the end of the day, some people's actions are selfish, anti-social and annoying to others.  Everyone has to live somewhere and most people will take the easier option to move away from these people then spend months fighting them through complaints and court.

    Thank you.

    This is the kind of response I was expecting initially.

    When we were looking at houses, I used to use the police.uk website to check on reported crimes in that street. This will only show times that the police have been called out of course, but it can be useful to show if there is a really bad neighbour who keeps getting police visits as it shows up as "anti social behaviour" or "violence/sexual offences". It also shows burglary, vehicle crime, criminal damage & arson and drugs which all paint a true picture of the area you're looking at. Obviously a few of these will be dotted around most areas, but there were some parts of Wolverhampton where the wife saw a nice house and you'd check the crime and it was like the Bronx.
