| Last night I went to bed at about elevenish and became aware of a lot of noisy activity in the road. Eventually I looked out of the window and saw a load of youths (male and female) gathering around 35 Enfield Road and going in and out of the property. They looked as though they were up for a party. Some arrived on foot, others by private car, some were dropped off by taxi. The age range was probably late teens/early twenties. At about midnight the noise increased and about twenty (possibly more) people spilled out of the house and into the road where they milled around. Shortly afterwards a police car arrived and also Hounslow's Noise Team. There was music thumping away. The police officers had a long conversation with some of the occupants of the property and one of my neighbours and myself came out of our houses and spoke to the officers and also the noise people. Apparently the back garden of the property was heaving with people - some of whom were smoking weed and taking cocaine. The owner does not live at the property but rents it out - we think he's been doing the airbnb thing. A similar "event" took place at the property the weekend before last. He is, apparently, not bothered on the occasions when he's been contacted about what's happened. Police said they were powerless to do anything; noise team said they would be contacting the owner. The party continued for most of the night. The volume of music increased. There were continual comings and goings and shouting in the street. I observed people emerging from the property and urinating/defecating behind parked cars and then going back inside. I also rang the police and was told that they had been contacted by a number of local residents but that, in reality, there was very little they could do. I gather that this sort of thing is fairly common at the moment. It's horrible for local residents who just want to go to sleep. The party was still going strong at 4am but I managed to get some sleep by going to the back of the house. Did anyone else hear this event? What can we do to make sure it doesn't happen again?? |
