... i've namechanged for this in the unlikely event anyone from RL identifies me from posts on my usual mn name.
this might be a bit of a rambling post but bear with me and if anyone can give advice, hints or tips, or knows some one who works in council houssing or police and you could ask them for advice and come back to me and update th thread i would be massively grateful.
Basically, my mum has owned her property for ages, but attached are council properties. most of the residents in the near area are oldies and they are all generally friendly etc .. however the neighbouring house to my mum has got a ldy in it for a few months who is, without wanting to offend anyone with the erminology, a loon, but a nasty one.
the woman seemed a bit odd walking straight into peoples houses asking for cigarettes or tapping bits of food off them and starting conversations with them when seeing them but swearing really loudly. mum just sort of didn't really have anything to do with her, and that was fuine. then there was some paper that had been lit found jarred in the letterbox, no onwe has witnessed anything, but as the lady has a drink issues (she has been seen very drunk a lot of occasions) we suspect she has done this, but then my mums lovely neighbours who are jamaican told her the woman had been really aggresive screaming at them and shouting and swearing at their two sons on their way back from school(they are eight and ten!) and suspect in sa drunken stupour the lady may have got the wring intended door with the lit paper (yes, i know all assumptions, but it seems t o fit), garden ornaments and plant posts emptied and smashed in both my mums and neighbours gardens (there was a witness who saw the new neighbour do this)
now the lady is turning her stereo or tv n full volume (and i mean full volume, not just loud) as late as 1am so my mum can't sleep, and followed my bil and his elderly mum who had gone to visit my mum on christme=as day down the shared path (walking about 1 foot behind them barefoot, smoking and very very drunk) muttering to them and then shouting something at them when they got in their car (they didn't respond to her becaiuse they didn't want to aggrevate her)
the thing is, we've been advised that the lady is a known alchoholic who has been relocated from a previous area and has mental health issues, we have been specifically tolod not to approach her or have words with her unless strictly neccessary and to make sure we have an exit 9!) because she can be volatile and aggressive (she is a bg stocky lady), i can't put who gave us this inofo but the person has done us a huge favour telling us this and they are in a position to know of these details.
so, we've been onto the council, kept them updaed of all incidents (lady couldn't recollect pushing any lit paper in a letterbox so police couldn't take any action), council say they don't do relocatios, police suggested an injuction but what good is that when trhe person's behaviour and mental state is such that an injuction won't mean anything to her?
how do we get this person moved urgently as she is posing a serious threat to my mum? incidentally, my mum wants to move now
