Nightmare Ardwick neighbours have 'parties', 'sell drugs' and urinate against walls

A man living in an Ardwick tower block says he has nowhere to turn to after dealing with a nightmare neighbour for four years.

The man, who the Manchester Evening News is choosing to keep anonymous over fears for his safety, says his neighbour frequently has loud parties at their flats in Artillery Court which can last for up to 48 hours.

With the issue being a long-term problem, the man has reported the anti-social behaviour to both the housing agency for his building — S4B Housing — and the police. However, he says neither of them are taking ownership of the issue.

That’s despite S4B taking out a noise injunction against the neighbour, which the resident says is not enforced. He
