Noisy Neighbours

I am currently receiving complaints about two very ignorant residents in the Twerton area both are tenants of Curo Housing and are being dealt with as an ongoing issue.

One resident of The Parade High Street has been playing Music so loud that it has affected all his neighbours to such an extent that they have had to bring in outside agencies such as the Police to help deal with the matter.

Another resident an Linley Close plays their music so loud that I can clearly hear it 300 yards away in my front room and what his immediate neighbours must be going through is beyond my ability to understand.

I have had many residents tell me that they feel intimidated by these residents and are frightened to come forward with information for fear of reprisals.

It is not acceptable for peoples lives to be blighted by the ignorant and arrogant few and if we all as residents of the area report their actions to the correct authorities that we will soon be able to put a stop to this anti social behaviour.

Curo to their credit have taken action to try to resolve these two issues but we need residents that are affected by these two and in other situations that I am not aware of to report issues that affect them.

Curo have an Anti Social Behavior hot line that can be accessed 24 hours a day through their main number 366000 the Police can also be contacted on 101 and the Council Environmental unit 477000 during office hours may also be able to help.
