us have never complained to us about noise. He has shouted abuse at us,

I are constantly living in fear and my wife is frightened to stay at home and has had
to accompany me to work on several occasions and stayed in the car with our

young daughter until I finish work.

5. The Defendant has slashed my car tyres, damaged my fuse box and has physically
threatened to hit me with a piece of wood. He has a big dog that he brings out with

staircase without a lead. I have reported
