Neighbourhood's anger over man's porn business
Friday, January 30, 2009
Angry residents living in a quiet cul-de-sac said today they would protest against the activities of a neighbour who was running a pornographic film business.

The demonstration, to take place tomorrow morning, will be held outside the property of adult film maker James Edwards.

Mr Edwards owns a house in The Coppice, Bristol and has used the premises as a film set.

Resident Zena Robbins said they were fed up with the "disgraceful situation" and estimated about 20 of her neighbours would join the demonstration.

She said: "Everyone is angry, we pay high rates in this area and expect some support from the authorities.

"This is a nice area we chose to live in but it is no longer a happy community.

"We now get comments from all sources about this disgraceful situation we have to put up with."

Two years ago Mr Edwards signed an Acceptable Behaviour Contract, a voluntary agreement made between someone involved in anti-social behaviour and the police, after it was claimed "pornographic activities" were taking place in the front garden.

A spokesman for South Gloucestershire Council said there were no breaches of that six-month agreement and police said there was no evidence of any criminal activity since.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: "We believe the occupier is legitimately running a pornographic recording studio."

Mr Edwards told the Bristol Evening Post that he was not doing anything unlawful in his home and said the accusations were causing him stress.

He told the paper: "The police have fully investigated the complaints from my neighbours and as far as I am aware the police don't have an issue with me.

"My health is deteriorating because of the stress they are putting me under."

The protest will take place at 10.30am. Resident Fred Hillberg said they wanted action because their lives were "being made a misery".

He said: "We approached the police, South Gloucestershire Council and even the Home Office and provided surveillance video, adverts, website data and pictures but to no avail."

Neighbour Pete Kite said: "This is no place for this sort of thing. It's degrading and affecting our lives and property status."

Another neighbour, Mike Otley, said: "This is a family area and we will not tolerate it. Some people feel like prisoners in their own home."

I think I'd get a telephoto lens :eyebrows:

If I were James Edwards, I would feel like a prisoner in my own home.  ::)

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Some of those neighbours seem to be having difficulty with the concept that porn isn't illegal.  Harassment and invasion of privacy are, however.  Maybe he should report them as peeping Toms.

They should take up a collection and buy him some nice privacy fencing if it bothers them that much.  :green:

Fuck these morons. They obviously have nothing better to do than harass someone who is having fun/running a business.
