I know of someone who lives next door to a social club. The social club leave the flood lights on all night which shine into the houses. Recently they have installed benches and children’s slides right next to the fence of the person’s house. When they know the police are coming round they move the furniture to the other side of the beer garden and then when the police go they move it back.
They make up malicious environmental health allegations in retaliation. The police won’t do anything and blame the residents. What can be done and who is responsible for these issues? The residents are fed up with it but the building is suspected facilitating drug dealing and the police and licensing seem reluctant to sort out these issues.
The people at the venue have even been heard on camera plotting their next act against the residents.
Can this be escalated to a governing body such as the IOPC?
