Man faces eviction for humming
LONDON: An autistic man in Britain has been threatened with eviction after a neighbour claimed his humming was too loud, a media report said Saturday.
Dean Harman, 40, has lived alone in his flat for 11 years. He is shy but gets on well with other residents in his block, said the Daily Mail.
But a new neighbour complained to the Greenwich Council that he hums too much in the morning before he leaves for his day-care centre.
The council handed Dean a noise abatement order after recording him from the flat below and said he would be evicted if the "din" didn't stop.
Medical tests revealed Dean, from Kidbrooke, South London, doesn't realise he is humming. Disability charities slammed the order. His case will be heard at Bromley magistrate's court next week.
