{{{HI, FOLKS! I AM STILL TRYING TO HANG ON IN THERE...}}}

The HMO property owner fire doors noise investigation by the Stevenage Borough Council was definitely 100% covered up by their officer/s and her line manager/s. In addition, the Local Government Ombudsman agreed with obsolete everything the council stated in its report - even the lies! Even evidence I submitted to support my complaint; they just disregarded them, as if I did not matter. This shows the LGO is not the independent organisation as claimed, but supports the council/s 100% - whether right or wrong!

Folks, again, I am not talking about ordinary domestic indoor doors; I am talking about (5) heavy hydraulic spring fire doors (the kind you will find in large offices, hospitals and industrial buildings); and (1) extra "specially constructed" main entry doorway door. Most folks cannot even cope with just the boom/banging from (1) of these fire doors, much less “6” of the ruddy things in a 3-bedroom substandard domestic ex-council house! The noises from HMO neighbour fire doors are so severe and loud, they can be heard in all of the rooms in my house (even with all the doors closed) and the force of the closing of these fire doors, etc. also vibrates the party wall that causes my bedroom door to rattle in its frame. Then the council claimed noise not statutory nor loud! However, I have learned, it is the usual rhetoric they use to get out of situations so not to deal with them; therefore leaving one to suffer, instead.

As a professional officer and organisation, as claimed, why use a defected recording equipment (that they claimed had broken down when recording the noise). The equipment should have been maintained and in perfect working order to carry out the task of collecting sensitive evidence! In addition, why they did not fix recorder and reinstall it to carry out the recording? No, they just left it at that…! This shows the hallmark of a 100% cover up! How can a "supposedly" responsible organisation that deals with health relations operate in that way? It all boils down to them making money and saving money (just like any other business); therefore, one's wellbeing and health do not matter to them, the fact they will find every opportunity to cover up serious problems that can harm one's health (or even death) and stop you from getting out of the situation they have forced upon you!

Folks, should you find yourselves in a similar situation as mine, you would never win with the councils and the LGO, as they are a law unto themselves and we cannot challenge them unless we have bags of money to take them to the High Court. Even then, there is no guarantee one will win there either, because of the way the system is stacked against us. Moreover, there is no one out there that is willing to help when it has to do with the Government and the Councils. You on your own - trust me! Even the MP/s and councillor/s will not help, or they just not interested. In addition, if one cannot sell one’s property (as seem to be happening to me at present) because of the noise/to get away from it.  And subsequently, if one cannot cope with the frustration, anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, stroke, etc…with the noise that the council already caused; and the fact that, I’m already suffering from a heart problem, and can’t sell my house because of noise; then the only alternative left I feel is suicide.  Because there is no way, I can continue to live here with the extent of this noise.  But, will government/council care? No, because we are just "numbers" to them, and not money!
