In reply to the letter from Alan Tenanty (Wednesday's Star) who is pleased to see the students return.
I wonder how many students live on Westbourne Road? Perhaps Mr Tenanty would care to visit a few 'student' roads about 2.30am on Tuesdays after the cheap drinks promotions on Monday nights. We are regularly woken at 2.30am onwards by students returni
ng home after a boozy night. That is when the fun starts.
Most of the students do not take in their wheelie bins from one week to the next so it's great fun for them having races up and down the road. How would Mr Tenanty like it if he had students living across the road who climbed out of the bedroom window and sat on the bay window with a ghetto blaster at 4.30 one morning (thankfully they have moved on). Students who regularly go out without a key and then spend ages trying to wake their housemates up.
My next door neighbour had a brick thrown through his front window a couple of years ago. Police had been called to a very noisy party about 3am and after they had left, my neighbour unfortunately was the only house with a light on, hence the brick.
We contacted the university accommodation officer regard-ing particularly noisy tenants and discovered the house was not on their register of acceptable student housing. The lady seemed more concerned that the students could be living in an unsafe house.
We were told to keep a diary but as the disturbances do not happen at the same times/days every week, it seems we do not have a problem.
How I wish that traffic cones were the only things we had to worry about.
