Landlords

I used to live on a decent street until slimeball private landlords started buying up houses and moving in scumbag chav families and all the sh*t that comes with them. Now my nextdoor neighbour has had enough and is moving out, god knows what my family will have to put up with now. This should not be allowed to happen and I can see myself getting pretty stressed in the coming months as I will take no sh*t, probably end up in a cell to calm down.
So cheers to the council because I blame you for letting it get this far due to poor rules relating to private landlords. Also cheers to Graham Jones who seemed to be interested when he lived here but now he's gone so has whatever strings he could pull, dealing drugs and supplying alcohol to underage idiots is frequently observered at the local off licence and with all the chavs here now he is doing good business, rant over.:mad:
 
same happened on orange street nice quaint street early 1990s ,slum landlord wins auction on the end house and has left it empty for nine years now why doesnt the council not do anything backhanders? or what housing benefit fraud?????school [moorhead puts up nine foot fence and chops down the tree at the end of the street making the end of the street look like a prison..a few people die on the street the slum landlords move in end up havin 8 polish neighbours in one house drug dealers across the road out of control one of the reasons i moved to scotland its out of control in accrington all to do with the powers to be being cowards...accy has died a death im sorry to say and slum landlords are to blame one livin up past fern gore mainly to blame....
 
Drop Graham or Bernard an email, see them both around here regularly, and I know for a fact that they both do care about our area!:D

Bernards already been in touch, haven't seen Graham for a month or so. Have chatted to the police, waste of time, not happy...........:mad:
 
yep the local politicians councillors in accy are useless theyve got there own agenda and dont give a :rolleyes:i complained about the empty house at the end of orange street umpteen times and all i got its in the wrong area:confused: they cant do nothing..
 
I feel really sorry that this is happening, Bagpuss. :(

It makes me very sad to see. It's not fair on people like you, you shouldn't have to put up with it.

I don't know what can be done but hopefully you will get a response from someone who can advise. :(
 
there is nothing you can do bagpuss ,i learned from experience and just got the hell out of it:(i think thats what you should do while you can..
 
This is happening all to often in decent areas and it is out of order. My mate lived in the Woodnook area, she had a lovely house. Due to houses let by private landlords to any Tom, Dick or Harry she sold up. The price she got was scandalous to say the money she had spent on it but at least where she is now there is no danger of her getting attacked or abused. She was like you Bagpuss and had a few run ins with neighbours before she moved but why should decent folk have to put up with this crap??
 
because all the pc do gooders let the scum get away with it there should be laws to stop this but even if there were laws there would be nobody to implement them.its total anarchy in accrington now im glad i got out when i did i feel sorry for everybody left behind and one of the reasons theres more scum is the place in lydia street and maundy grange which has been mistreated and just attracted the scum of our society...
 
Lydia st, was walking on yon yesterday n a young gentleman in a black T-Shirt n baseball cap says have ya a fag Mr? (was smoking at time) i says have you a fiver mate, so i can get a packet as theres only 1 left in mine.:D, young gentleman shuts gob n scurried away.:D;)
 
Me and Sparks have the same problem as Bagpuss, as elderly people have died off on our street, the houses have been bought up by private landlords (many of whom don't even live in the area). Their houses are either left to rot, usually with several rat attracting bags of rubbish in the back yard), or they are rented to complete and utter scum. Compared to houses of similar size in other parts of Accy, our houses are worth far less.

We are not in a position to sell up and move, even though we have no mortgage. Our area is one of those in the pipeline for redevelopment and there may have to be compulsory purchases of some properties around here. Until definite plans are released, our house is in limbo and it wouldn't be worth putting it up for sale and paying the relevant survey fees until we know.

I am personally praying now that we end up with a compulsory purchase order. It will save us the hassle of trying to sell what is a cosy terrace in a once nice, but now scrotey area.
