Andy , prior to moving to this bungalow , I lived in a downstairs flat on a "ex" counsil estate

couple in late 30s , she stayed home , he worked on building sites
I say worked ,as they did a drug test , he exceeded limit , sacked , never to get a building job again
he turned to selling drugs from home , people going up and down external staircase all day and night , at one stage her car was parked at top of road with an axe thru windscreen
police took my door off hinges 3 times over about 5 yrs ,(I lived at 6 he lived at 6a) once when I was out , the house had been ransacked , turned upside down (stuff missing) then left unsecured

I ended up with a vynyl sticker on my fromt door saying "drug shop upstairs (6a)"

eventually police cought them red handed , BUT under current laws , the housing assoc could not evict them unill in court and found guilty

that took almost 2 yrs

I lived a horrible life , possably a reason for my heart attack

life is so much easier at this assisted living bungalow
