Thread Name: BS: Estate Scum - Tolerate?
Subject: RE: BS: Estate Scum - Tolerate?
I used to live on an "estate".It was a small [250 properties] estate in a small country town in Dorset. I lived in a two bedroom flat with my mother.The flats were built by the council for older people not as housing for familys.The council sold the properties to a housing association. As the residents of the flats died or moved out familys were moved in. A family from Bristol were moved in above us.
They used to have people from Bristol staying [as many as 8] playing music at all hours. A drug dealer was moved in next door. A girl was moved in opposite with a young son within two years she had another two children by different men.
In every case they were evicted from their previous home for being a problem.
I was once talking to a policeman in the town and mentioned that there was drug dealing taking place in a local car park and was told "there is no drug problems in Sherborne".
We moved to a small village in Wales.
