Desperate residents being kept awake by ‘the worst student parties they have ever experienced’ have started filming them to show how unbearable the situation has become.

People living in the south Manchester neighbourhood of Fallowfield say they believe the area is in ‘chaos’ with weekly house parties attracting hundreds of revellers.

Those living off Wilmslow Road described the situation as ‘the worst it’s ever been’ and say they are also disturbed by students walking to and from the area’s bars, shouting and screaming in the street and even going to the toilet in people’s gardens.

So they have got their camera phones out - and are uploading footage of the parties onto YouTube.

Residents around Amherst Road say one of the worst parties occurred over Halloween weekend, when hundreds descended on a house party which went on until 6am the following morning.

Students at the property have since apologised to neighbours but say they feel videoing parties is ‘a bit weird’.

Sue Hare, a Fallowfield Community Guardian, said: “Usually the excitement dies down a few weeks into the term but this year it’s been chaos.

“There’s a party every weekend - this is the worst it’s ever been.

“The scale of house parties has increased but also the transient noise - the students go out drunk about 11.30pm and come back any time from 2am to 5am.

“There’s a constant stream of drunk people up and down the street.

“The culture is that house parties are acceptable and fun but there’s a lack of awareness from the students that they live in a mixed area.”

One resident on Clifton Avenue, near where the all night Halloween party took place, said: “Students were going to the toilet in people’s gardens, one girl was running around in the street with no shoes and socks on.

“They are hiring commercial sound systems meant for venues not living rooms and the parties are just uncontrollable.”

Police in Fallowfield have now asked both Manchester universities and the council for extra funding to police the area.

Inspector David Sutcliffe said: “I have attended at 10 parties to speak to students since term began but police have been called out to a lot more.

“There’s no pattern to when these parties take place - one was at 1.20am on a Wednesday morning.

“Unfortunately it’s a question of resources - if there is a crime where life is in danger obviously that must be the priority, but we understand this is really affecting people’s quality of life. We have applied for extra funding to deploy extra patrols.”

The party got out of hand and wasn’t supposed to be that big

Students at the house which threw the huge Halloween party say they have apologised to neighbours after many more people turned up than expected.

Following ‘multiple complaints’ they now face disciplinary action by the University of Manchester.

Third year history student Felix Powell, 20, said: “The party got out of hand and wasn’t supposed to be that big - it ended up with the number of people in the three figures rather than keeping it to the two which we didn’t expect.

“There’s two sides to it. We’ve had criticism over the party and we take that on board.

“It’s more of a problem if you’re a repeat offender and we are not. However I do think videoing parties is a bit weird.”

A university spokeswoman said: “The University regrets the impact that this anti-social behaviour, committed by a minority of our students, has on local residents.

“We very much hope that recent changes to our student conduct and discipline regulations, an emerging new Community Strategy and our partnership activity with Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester council and GMP, will help to mitigate the risk of student anti-social behaviour.”
