This is a very long review, yet really just a synopsis considering my six plus years of hell.It involves noisy parties, car damaged, driveway blocking.Even my other neighbour runs machines 24/7, and the environment won't help me.I have been assaulted 4 times by younger males, and I'm actually 74 years old.Police attended and simply listened to the harassers, and refused to watch my CCTV, then falsely arrested me, and locked me up.The Police actually committed perjury on statements in a court trial, but they forgot about the CCTV cameras.The judge found me Not Guilty.Then an housing officer (friend of the police) issued me with a bogus warning notice.These notices threaten eviction!But he had also forgotten my CCTV and he had to retract his allegations.Again a few weeks later he sent me another set of false accusations, but he didn't know that I had even more CCTV.So he was forced to retract that one too, and I forced him to send a full apology.A year later I had a phone call from another housing officer with a very distinguishable accent, and he sent another eviction warning.I'd done nothing wrong, but he thought I'd taken down all my CCTV, but didn't know that I also carry a video camera.He mistakenly sent me an eviction warning letter, and I couldn't believe it.But then he made the mistake of phoning me again using a different accent, immediately I recognised the voice as the first housing officer. So I then contacted the Ombudsman to find out if I was right, and I believe that I was, because I got someone to check the name.And they discovered his name on FaceBook, and it was simply a friend of the original housing officers.This was something I proved to the Ombudsman, but I'm sure that they already knew because instead of exposing him they simply blocked me from all contact with them.My emails were blocked, my recorded letters were ignored, and 4 phone calls I made to them resulted in telling me that they would call me back.They never did. I even tried the main Council, but they ignored 2 recorded letters.It would be a waste of time phoning police, they don't like losing cases in court, and being exposed on websites.I'm living next door to drug dealers, and the council ignore my evidence, and simply side with them.One manager from the noise environment services was caught on my CCTV camera buying from them.Which makes perfect sense to me as to why I've had to bear 24/7 machine noise with no help from them whatsoever.Tory cabinet member Michael Gove needs to be updated, because he criticised Birmingham City Council (BCC).And he recommends that people use the Ombudsman, but he's wrong, very wrong.They now work together, and if they decide something is too tricky, they side with BCC.I have now written to Michael Gove, and now I just wait.These people work together, and there is definitely corruption within these systems!The Council needs to be investigated, and the noise environment services needs closing down (Useless).Then De-fund or shut down the Housing Ombudsman Service, (Also Useless).
