A luxury mansion block was invaded by drug addicts and homeless people who sleep in the corridors and leave their syringes on the stairs.
The front door of the Blok, in Central Bournemouth and only a few meters away from the grave of the author Mary Shelley of Frankenstein, was demolished nine times in the past year, while addicts are beating their homes.
The home base of 27 flats, the people who live there, say that it has made their lives 'absolute hell' because they are forced to pay thousands of pounds while trying to secure the building in vain.
Terrange residents regularly come home to find their once plashed houses that punctuated with needles and users who urinate in the carpets.
And even calls to the police cannot force action, because the local force told the powerless tenants that the penetration of a person's private property is a 'civil' issue and not a criminal offense.
David Parchot, who has had a flat for the past nine years, said: 'Residents have to come home to the carpet that was peppered with used needles and drug addicts with cocaine.'
The retired teacher added: 'They also refused on the carpet and just outside the entrance door and use our power points to charge their phones.

'We are terrorized with no one in our own houses to turn to. It has definitely been hell. '
Residents said this 'horror story' started when someone was rented out last year – 'be it not consciously' – to a female drug dealer.
She and her boyfriend would train shady characters through the building all hours, a neighbor said, with some who decide to set up the camp on the access road.
Even after the drug dealer had finally left, his people continue to break into the building.
It is known that homeless people in the 'Trying their happiness' area on buildings by testing doors, and this former hotel half a mile off the coast is 'become a favorite'.
Although the corridor is usually occupied by one homeless at the same time, no fewer than four are beaten together and can be 'aggressive'.
Richard, who lived in the block for almost 30 years, said: “Initially it was only one woman, and then there were two women, then there were two men, then there were four or five of them.”
Between them they have sniffed cocaine, injected heroin and smoked crack on the bottom of the stairs.
The alleged drug dealer who left these people in the building for the first time left waste and waste in her flat when she finally left
Needles, lighters, spoons and tobacco have contributed to the dirt she has left behind
A resident said he heard her fight with her partner where a gun was threatened, but no police came to their help
The son of the alleged dealer was the first person to use the corridors as a place to sleep after he refused access to her property, a resident said
When the 'intimidating' invaders were initially asked to leave by residents, they were often told: 'It has nothing to do with you. We don't hurt anyone. F ** k off '.'
Mr. Parchot said that “they naturally do enormous damage!”
Anxious tenants – some of whom are the elderly, are vulnerable or suffer from health problems – have said that they are unable to sleep out of fear and be 'terrified' to get home, not knowing what they will face.
Ollie, a 21-year-old student, said he would use to use the back input 'especially when I took my girlfriend because it seemed safer. “
“I wouldn't bother to go down because I knew they were there.”
The Bournemouth University -Student said that he had seen a guy outside with a tear pipe in his hand and a jet lighter 'and when they lie indoors, the building makes' terrible'.
“I got home to see a girl bleed everywhere – I don't know what happened, but that's the kind of people coming here,” said Mr. Parchot.
Residents wake up with intoxicated people who faint on their front stairs too
St. Peter's Kerkhof, where Mary Shelley is buried, it is said that it is a hotspot for drug trafficking and is only a stone's throw from the apartment building
Richard said that one day he saw the drug dealer fight her boyfriend across the road when 'we heard the man say:' I suppose you will shoot me afterwards ''.
“We called the police, but they still didn't come, not even with the mention of a gun,” said the retired cinema manager.
Mr. Parchot said that they feel 'abandoned' by the police and that 'the violation law is not suitable for the goal'.
“The police have the powers to go out of shop doors on drug addicts and homeless people, but they will not act to remove them if they decide to invade people's houses,” said the 65-year-old.
The cemetery of St. Peter, which is just a stone's throw from the apartment building, would be 'wide -consumption' with drug dealers who benefit from the mausoleum.
Richard said that the local authority had cleaned up the bushes a few years ago that had helped 'but now they are all back'.
Mr. Parchot added: 'What is being done to tackle these issues by our chosen representatives?
“And where is the police in all of this, a” power “that should protect the authority -abusive citizen?”
The intruders were often seen to take their possessions with them and once tried to save four people on bags in a hall closet
The Dorset police answered that “if someone is a suspected drug user, they generally need help from supporting services that offer access to accommodation and support for rehabilitation.”
They added that “the responsibility for homelessness is a matter for the local authority.”
But when they contacted the intrusions in the building, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council said that this was a matter for the police.
Mr. Parchot said that the state had “terrible” failed in maintaining his care systems, for both authority -abiding citizens and those who need support.
He said he had previously been struck with the 'reassurance that it was at least there and not in our house' but now there was no way to escape from the 'nightmare'.
“Of course, the police say it's fine when they are on the ground floor, but what happens when they start trying the doors of people?” Asked Ollie.
“This was everyone's fear that one day someone would come home and find their door open,” said Richard.
“This was everyone's fear that one day someone would come home and find their door open,” said Richard
He added: 'A police woman said that if you can get pictures of those who use the drugs that can help the police to expel them, but then she also said not to get close because of the needles.
“I asked her,” How should I do both? ” – She couldn't answer that. '
Mr. Parchot said it was 'ironic' when the police finally showed up because the female drug dealer had called the police in which she said she was unsafe.
He said: 'When they first came, I assumed it was because they had collected sufficient evidence from her criminal activities to arrest her.
“On the contrary, apparently it was a response to a fearful call that they had received from her earlier and worried about her well -being.”
Although he believed that it was correct “such people are being treated compassionately,” but the hypocrisy of their supplications who were “had” destroyed “in the lives of so many many who live in our building.”
“Where were the police when we brought our desperate calls for help?

“We are people who have worked hard all our lives have contributed to society in a valuable way and have paid our taxes, including municipal tax that finances the emergency services including the police.”
Mr. Parchot said there was a broader issue that results from the 'horror and despair' at the decline of the center of Bournemouth.
The number of homeless people on the street to emphasize 'who ask for money every time you leave the building', he said 'they can be quite aggressive if you do not give it'.
'I actually feel safer in Streatham than in the middle of Bournemouth.
“Bournemouth quickly acquires a reputation nationally as a place that is not so much synonymous with beautiful beaches, but with drug addiction and packages of drug addicts who was once a beautiful city.”
Mr. Parchot said they had 'such an impressive main street', such as Beales, House of Fraser, Debenhams and M&S.
“But they are all gone and were taken over by drug addicts and homeless people,” he complained.
“I regret buying a flat in the middle of Bournemouth, but I never thought it would prove to be that way.”
