Residents Worry About Kate Moss Effect on Country Life  11/12/05

Troubled supermodel Kate Moss' forthcoming move to her rural retreat in Oxfordshire, England, has upset local residents who are dreading her arrival.

Residents in the idyllic area have put up with Moss' all-night parties and drum-playing sessions in the past, but fear her permanent move there from London will lead to an endless stream of noise pollution.

And, despite Moss' recent spell in rehab following the publication of photos showing her snorting cocaine, many locals are concerned.

One neighbor says, "The whole atmosphere of the place has changed. I have been disturbed many times late at night by her parties.

"She was bought a drum kit for Christmas last year (04) and kept everyone up banging it.

"This is a village where people come to enjoy the quiet life. It's not a place for someone like her."
