Parents face eviction over 2 year old’s loud crying
Complaints from neighbours that crying baby sounds like a revving engine means family might lose their home

Nicola Baylis, 23, and partner Tim Richold, 34, have been issued with an acceptable behaviour contract which states they must make an effort to control their daughter Skye, 2.
Describing the noise as being like a revving engine, residents who live in the same block of flats in Lingmell Court, Warndon, have said the noise is making people’s lives a misery, the Daily Mail reports.
