Natasha Babber and Luke Witton moved into their Bushbury Lane home in February of this year expecting to be able to raise their children in a peaceful and friendly community.

However, only days after first moving in, the family were subjected to violent insults, verbal abuse, indecent behaviour and even sexual harassment.

In one such incident, Luke, 41, looked out of the living room window to find a man had urinated on his van, which he had worked hard to convert into a mobile home.

In response to the repeated incidents, the family has now called on the support of the city council and West Midlands Police, asking for help in tackling the antisocial behaviour terrorising their community.

Talking about the issues, Natasha Babber, 40, said: "You feel terrified to leave the house. I refuse to let my children go out in the front garden - most likely nothing will happen, but you always have that 'what if' in your mind.

"Our son's partner has been propositioned while she was out at the shops - she is underage. We have had the car window smashed, someone urinated up our van and there is near-constant drug dealing in the front garden. This community is being terrorised by antisocial behaviour."
