In a bit of a distressed state at the moment

random

Hi,

Not sure to do, have new neighbours moving in next door. Had a knock on the door from one of them, asked if they could move furniture through my garden.

I have had no end of trouble in the past, as when I have agreed before. They just take it as they can do that anytime they want. So thought I would keep it simple this time, and simply tell them sorry, no, I have had too many problems in the past.

Thought that was the end of that, but about five minutes later they return with sofa in hands going directly in to my garden. They need to dismantle fence to get in theirs, so called the police emergency.

I was in an extemely distressed state when I called, but police refused to help. Mainly because they didn't dismantle the fence. I explained I called them, because they were about to, but when I went out to confront them they abandoned their attempt and left by my drive way which is chained and locked.

Police said, they can't do anything, but if they dismantle the fence they will deal with it. Problem is I am not at home all the time, and expect they will try again. Clearly have no regard for my home

I mentioned this to my landlord a couple of years ago, and told them I did not want neighbours using the garden at all.  They agreed with me, and I told them to pass a message on to the agent managing the property next door. To let the next tennants who move in know they can't use my garden.

I expect from their opening question when they knocked on the door, they are aware I am with same landlord as she said "who owns the drive which is chained off". I answered and said this property.

Just in a real state about these people, just can't understand why they are so inconsiderate

  • I have just phoned the owners, I struggled to put my points forward, but I said

    I was very unhappy about the situation, and don't know what the best way forward is. I added that in the meantime I would tollerate neighbours using my garden only when:

    a) They wanted to move large items they can't fit in the front door.

    b) To be given notice through the owners.

    Was a bit of an awkward phone call, but less tense than the one this morning. I did say that I have been thinking of ways things could be done to have less impact on myself, but need more space to think about them.

    I said what I wanted to avoid is situations where I have made it clear that I want notice only to find them in the garden without letting me know on repeated occaisions.

    I felt I was being listened too, but some of the reaction I am unsettled about. She repeated three times "to be honest, if it is making you unhappy, you should think about moving."

    I explain a move is a very big thing, I don't want to move, and this has been my home for a long time.

    Was really struggling with the conversation, and my voice continually breaking up, long breaks in sentences.
