I am a tenant in Margate Addington street I was housed in the flat I am in after finding my beloved dad unexpectedly deceased and was classed as a squatter in the house I shared with my dad of 10 years I was forced into moving into the flat I am in now. from day one I was living next door to a crack head that took a year for him to be evicted that caused me extreme stress and anxiety he had visitors all hours of the day especially early hours of morning his door was being kicked in numerous times even the main door to the block was smashed up constant police raids threats of violence towards me and even someone dying in his flat that brought on memories of the passing of my dad I have had no peace for three years all after losing my dad unexpectedly I am extremely dissatisfied with Katie furguson the housing officer for east Kent I am not the only one that’ has a negative view about our so called housing officer I have had to escalate a complaint to stage 2 just for her to get in contact strange that. she picks and chooses who she helps some tenants get help with like carpet and white goods and some don’t get nothing me being one of the latter I have suffered extreme asb/harassment from a tenant above me that has come to my door with a large kitchen knife and threatened to kill me and no action was taken he has done so many things like throwing bleach over my open windows even 4 mop buckets of bleach water over my front door and it even got on my poor dog I had to shower her down constant extreme banging on my ceiling night and day threats to stab me in the neck all caught on my CCTV but still no considerable action has been taken against this perpetrator it has had a massive impact on me having to write in anti social diary make audio recordings provide constant footage off my CCTV and constant calls to police riverside council even though the perpetrator has made false allegations and has not provided no proof of his false counter allegations I get told it’s a long process to take tenants to court so they asked if I was willing to move I foolishly said yes I would only if it was not in Addington Street but I received an offer of a property in the same Road Addington Street two doors down block 47 and It’s a considerably worse block than what I am already living in as stated I just want peace and quiet and to be able to just get on with my life I would not get that if I had accepted that offer it would of been like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire but because the staff you speak to don’t even live in Thanet they don’t grasp how bad these flats are so after I refused the offer I am now the bad guy I received a strongly worded letter stating I will receive no more help I will have to just put up with my neighbor making my life he’ll for even longer and that I will have to continue writing down diary entries sound recordings and even if legal action is taken against him it may not be in your favour and you will not be offered any more propertys riverside says they are tough on anti social behaviour if it wasn’t so soul destroying it would be a joke but clearly not a funny joke it has been affecting my life for too long here is a few incidents I have suffered came to my door with a large kitchen knife bleach water thrown at my front door and windows several times my poor dog is scared practically all the time due to the severe banging on my ceiling noise has an extreme impact on dogs she literally shakes and hides behind my bedroom door I have had to leave my flat sometimes just to get out of the situation it’s a disgrace I am having to proceed with my own civil action says it all hay community safety are no good especially firoza patel being a vulnerable adult with long term health issues with my mobility and mental health I truly feel really let down by all agencies involved but especially riverside housing and Kent Police I have not received a call from a complaint handler
