Fury over 'den of iniquity'

THE boss of a housing trust for vulnerable people says she is powerless to prevent 'rogue occupants' of a 10-flat 'den of iniquity' from making life hell for neighbouring residents.

Sensory Housing Trust specialises in accommodating people exiting homelessness, dealing with abusive family circumstances and struggling with mental health problems.

But its director Susan Kaur says that despite her 'best efforts' she has been unable to tackle the issues facing people living in Glendale Road in the leafy Ellesmere Park area of Eccles, Salford.

Neighbouring residents say they are at their 'wit's end' over the problems they claim are caused by tenants at the house of multiple occupation (HMO).

Complaints include sex work, drug dealing, fighting, verbal abuse and intimidation, dog attacks, cannabis use, filth strewn around the property, including human waste, homeless people living in derelict garages, knife crime, and loud music being played through the night into the small hours of the morning.
