Hi Everyone


Myself and my girlfriend have recently bought in ED, we love the area but looking to tap into a bit of local knowledge. We live on Darrell Road, at the bottom near Upland are a block of flats (Flats 1-8 - 10/12 Upland road)access via a blue door.


We find people are hanging around out side until very late at night, using bad language and generally quite unusual behvaiour with people shouting in all directions in an empty round which is a bit disturbing at night. Does anyone know the purpose of these flats (I've heard a few stories) or any rational to the slightly unusual behaviour? It's not a major issue but a little unsettling with my girlfriend coming home late at night and people hanging around acting very erratically.


Thanks

Thanks for the reply Goodliz, its not the hotel, its a flat complex right at the bottom of Darrell road where it intersects with Upland Road. We've spoken to the neighbours on the street and got a little history, I don't want to cause any animosity its just the regularity of the noise, bad language and being approached by people most days, which if I'm honest is pretty incoherent and a little unusual. I know it's not an easy one for the forum to advise on as its specific to one flat on our road but does concern me a little with ladies walking alone at night.


Thanks

The flats on the corner of Upland and Darrell were originally a mental health day centre run by SLAM called Number 10. As a money saving exercise, SLAM closed this centre many years ago and sold off to a private developer who by building an extension on, turned it into several flats. Most of the original attendees of No 10, have died or moved on so highly unlikely the current anti social behaviourists have anything to do with the ex centre.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
