RESIDENTS of Westleigh, in Warminster, are considering taking legal action to get a noisy neighbour evicted.

They have already pleaded with authorities to put a stop to what they describe as resident Tina Slade's antisocial behaviour.

Mrs Slade has denied the accusations and feels harassed by her neighbours.

She said: "I'm thinking about taking an injunction out on my neighbours to stop them harassing me and coming into my property.

"We may have been noisy for the first month that we were here but the council came out today and said no further complaints have been made and there was no problem."

Mrs Slade moved in with her 14-year-old daughter in April and from the first day neighbours say they have been disturbed by round-the-clock rowdiness, including loud music, swearing and parties with soldiers.

One resident, who did not want to be named, said: "She has caused us hell. Just the other week she was screaming in the garden."

Residents have complained to West Wilts Housing Society and police, and are threatening to take action themselves unless something is done soon.

One said: "We've had enough. Five of us are considering legal action, but this depends on her future behaviour.

"Before they moved in, a quiet elderly couple lived there. I know nobody's perfect but we just want some ordinary people in the house again."

Police have spoken to Mrs Slade after being called by residents in the early hours of the morning. A police spokesman said: "Unless we actually see something illegal going on, then there is nothing we can do. We have had dealings with her in the past."

Ellie Phillips from West Wilts Housing Society said it had received a number of complaints about Mrs Slade and had sent an officer to the estate to investigate. Residents are now being asked to fill out nuisance sheets.

Miss Phillips said: "We will act appropriately on any evidence given, which could include a notice of possession, where we would take the house back if there was any breach of the tenancy agreement."

The society has spoken to Mrs Slade about her alleged behaviour.

Miss Phillips said: "People are often unhappy when a single parent moves in next door and they can be prejudiced. We will take the matter seriously but will remain fair."
