They may 'drive past', if they have the resources that is. I have been given an 'out of hours' number for Environmental Health following my last complaint to them in October about these partying council tenants. I rang it tonight to be told the offices were shut, and finally put through to an unrelated line in the Forest of Dean. Apparently Gloucester doesn't have a line set up for out of hours, when most noise pollution occurs. So can someone tell me why, as I pack my bags again and wrap my son up as we head to a friends house for the night, how to solve this problem!? The reason for the anti-social behaviour increase in the UK is because it is encouraged by the councils lack of commitment to its Environmental Health policy, and the removal of police powers. Are you really surprised at 'Yob Rule'??? I mean really, what did the government expect?
