RESIDENTS are calling for action to curb noise and antisocial behaviour from students in the Winton area of Bournemouth.

Police were twice called out to deal with a recent all-night party in Green Road after residents complained of rowdy and offensive behaviour.

One woman told the Daily Echo a man came to her door at 3.30am with blood on his hands, claiming people had been taking drugs at the party.

He refused to leave until she called a taxi.

She also heard men shouting offensive racist taunts out in the road and said her young son was terrified.

“We have no quality of life.

“Both my 11-year-old and six-year-old will not sleep in their own beds.

“Their schooling is suffering because we are all so tired,” she said.

“The students taunt me when I am out with my children.

“They urinate in our gardens, vomit in the road, throw beer cans in the street, and kick balls at our cars.”

Retired postal worker Martin Brooks, 73, who has lived in the road for 30 years, said: “They urinated against my caravan.

“I was livid.

“Why should we put up with this sort of behaviour?”

Winton Community Forum chairman Anson Westbrook said: “The university has got to start taking responsibility.

“Part of the students’ punishment should be at least an apology to the neighbours they have disturbed.”

PC Stuart Witt, community beat officer with the North Bournemouth Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “The residents of two addresses in Green Road, who are students at Bournemouth University, have been given advice about their behaviour.

“I have also spoken with residents and I will be patrolling this area more regularly.”

A spokesman for the university said: “We take these matters very seriously and work hard to ensure that our students are aware of their responsibilities to the community and the university.

“It is not possible to supervise the actions of every student.

“We believe the problems are isolated and not widespread.

“We encourage those who feel affected directly by issues involving students to get in touch with the university on 01202 524111.

“Outside office hours, people will be transferred to a voicemail and will receive a response at the earliest opportunity.”
