Woken up by students at 2.30am!!!!

Hope

Students woke me up last night at 2.30am. I was woken to loud talking outside my ground floor flat window (I had been fast asleep -it was a rude awakening to say the least). The noise came from students, coming back from the nearby University. I banged hard on my window and shouted out to them to 'shutup'. They stared at me, and were momentarily stunned, but carried on regardless. This went on for another hour - constant students walking past, talking and laughing. I am now very tired, and wish to complain, but I don't know who to speak to.

I am fed up with inconsiderate, selfish people disturbing my peace. They should get asbo in my opinion.

Parents

  • They were definitely students. I looked out of my window and saw young men and women walking past - there is a university very near to where I live.

    I moved into my ground floor flat last August. It is perfect in every way apart from the noise disturbances. Thankfully, there are relatively quiet nights, but Friday and Tuesday nights tend to be noisy and disruptive.

    In the long run, I would like to move to a quieter location, but change is very difficult for me, and I get attached to my territory. I dream of having a mortgage one day, and some degree of choice in where I live, but this does not look likely anytime soon.

    I am a social housing tenant. The flat is good in the sense that it is close to my parents, has a regular bus service on its doorstep, its own front door and garden, and is quite spacious. I have been told that this is as good as it gets in my area, housing being in such great demand.

    If only it were not so noisy. I have tried ear-plugs, but they did not work.

    The one relief I get is when I stay at my parents at the weekend for two nights; I sleep pretty well then, and this makes up for it a bit, but in the long run it is not an ideal solution.
