IN REPLY to Mark Davey's letter (The Argus, March 12), I would say that students bring me no benefits whatsoever. In fact, all they bring me is a great deal of stress.

I have an HMO next door to me containing six students. Opposite is another HMO with another six. Within a few metres of my home are five more student houses. At the top half of the road are even more.

Very often they have parties with 30 odd people running up and down the road shouting and screaming at all hours of the night.

Several times a week they go out at 11pm in taxis, shouting as they go. They then return around 4am in taxis, again shouting and laughing.

Once inside, doors are banging, loud music starts and general crashing about. Often they sit in their conservatory until 6.30am shouting, singing, stamping their feet and playing guitars. I do not have one single bedroom in my house where I can sleep all night through.

Each week we have two bags of refuse for the binmen, the student houses have around 12 each.

We pay council tax but the HMOs don’t. This is just not fair.

I have to say I am sick, tired and thoroughly fed up with it.

If I wanted to live on a campus I would have bought a house there!

So, Mr Davey, if your child lives near me, come and sort it out!
