'Neighbors From Hell' to Get Supervised Housing in Britain
Wednesday, April 11, 2007
It's not all tea and crumpets in some British communities, but there may be sweet revenge in store for those who are tired of their
unruly neighbors.
Some of Britain's most socially incoherent families are in danger of being plucked from their homes and dropped into "managed
properties" that will teach them the values of being good neighbors, according to government housing plans announced on Wednesday.
Think that's harsh? Try being evicted for excessive unruliness, vandalism or noise.
The "respect agenda," an effort introduced by Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2005, will set up 53 "managed properties" across the
country. Their occupants will be identified as apathetic parents, rowdy ruffians and petty criminals. They will be allowed back into
their communities if social workers from the Home Office determine they are fit to do so.
The Home Office said this week that the projects would be handling an estimated 1,000 families by the end of the year, of whom about
25 would be housed in the special units. They will be monitored by "supernannies" who will conduct daily patrols on families and
offer parenting advice and support.
Blair's message is clear: If "neighbors from hell" don't shape up, they will have to ship out.
