...barely three metres from our gardens, with noise levels of 135 decibels, dust, fumes and bonfires...

Rayden Engineering also started working next to the unauthorised security fencing....

From 5.30am..

...until 10.30pm

Bank Holidays inclusive where the residents would be goaded, provoked and taunted with heavy plant or haulage driving from one end of the unauthorised fencing to the other and back again.

The police became regular visitors to our home following numerous calls made by Rayden Engineering and the majority of calls receiving an instant response. A multitude of allegations followed, ranging from attempting to shoot the company owner several times, criminal damage, trespass and numerous house to house inquiries in a vain search for evidence to support non-existent crimes.

After 17 visits including an ambush visit by the Rapid Response Firearms Unit and a midnight arrest, complete with mobile cell and police escort to be handcuffed and transported to Ripley, strip-searched, photographed, DNA tested, fingerprinted and interviewed at midnight - WHY? To investigate an allegation made 46 days earlier of criminal damage to a £10 pipe, an official complaint of police harrassment was made. The perpetrator of these allegations has now turned police attention to a neighbour in his sixties. His crimes to warrant being threatened with arrest? Shining a torch and twiddling a piece of string!!
