From: Shelley Neeson > Sent: 02 October 2023 14:32 To: Licensing <Licensing@west-dunbarton.gov.uk> Subject: Note of objection to the application for the short term let licence at 57 Albert Road 1/1 I would like to note an objection to the application for the short term let application for licence at 57 Albert Road flat 1/1. My name is Michelle Neeson and I am the owner and live in the flat below (number 55) with my daughter. My objection is on the ground that I am a single parent living below this flat and have already previously been subjected to numerous incidents of antisocial behaviour at all hours of the day and night when this landlord first bought this flat. I cannot go back to having various people coming and going from this property and turning it back into a party flat, with loud music and strong smell of cannabis coming into my home. This had a detrimental effect on my mental health along with my daughter’s health. Having several different males coming and going from the flat having parties caused not only me and my daughter fear and alarm but also surrounding residents fear and alarm and this was mostly every weekend and sometimes during the week too. Although the partying has now stopped there are still various males that come and go from the flat. I have also been flooded several times from this flat the last time I had to move out of my home from March 2022 until December 2022 due to the repairs as every room of my home was damaged with water ingress from above. This is bad enough however I have come home this weekend to again see water stains on my bathroom ceiling, and fear further repairs are needed due to lack of care and the fact that it is being used as some sort of air bnb. Another point I would like to raise is the issue with bins, as there is not a consistent tenant in the property the bins do not get emptied when they should and are often left for weeks in the back court overflowing. This is extremely worrying as will encourage rats to the area and the smell and mess is resulting in my daughter being unable to use the garden to play. Who will be responsible for this if there is not a permanent tenant in the flat? Albert Road is mainly made up of elderly residents and residents with families. We have had to put up with Antisocial Behaviour from the homeless flat at the bottom of the road, often resulting in Police Scotland having to attend again causing fear and alarm to all residents. Granting this license will cause further antisocial problems for residents in this quiet street. Please acknowledge receipt of this email. Kind regards Michelle Neeson 55 Albert Road
