Abusive neighbours !

Chrisward72

Hi all, me and my fiancée are at our wits end with our adjoining neighbours. Lewis 11 and is on the Aspergers spectrum, and Lilly-grace is 2 years old and as yet un- digagnosed. 

In January of this year our neighbour decided to fit a new kitchen in their property, and thought it ok, even after my fiancée going around there twice to complain politely, that it was acceptable to drill on our adjoining wall until 11.45pm. On receiving our complaints our neighbours decided we were out of order to complain and decided to take revenge on our family in the way of making more noise, and randomly smashing a hammer on our wall for a short while. Long enough to wake Lewis and Lilly up screaming, but in the local council words 'not long enough to be classed as nuisance noise' so would/will take no action. Police have been been called on numerace occasions but again wil/can't take any action as noise is not prolonged. Noise nuisance has become verbal abuse against me and my partner and, and more upsetting against Lewis, by calling him names because of his disability.

we are looking for some help please, has anyone else had this sort of problem, and/or has anyone resolved this sort of problem, with or without official organisations help ?

  • All I can say is that I sympathise. While I am fortunate in not having abusive neighbours, neighbour noise does periodically get me down when it occurs late at night or early in the morning. Thankfully this happens rarely, but the occasions when it has occurred, have been bad enough to leave a lasting impression and chronic fear that it will happen again. I can never forget the time my neighbour argued all night long, and into the morning, with a man friend. His booming voice could be heard right above my bedroom, and he swore and said horrid things. I felt trapped, like a bird in a cage. Thankfully he has not returned, and I hope they have well and truly split up; he sounded vile.

    But what you describe is extremely out of order. I would never ever contemplate drilling after 6pm at the very latest, but drilling should certainly not occur after 10pm. I think there are regulations on this?. The same applies to any machinary, such as washing machines or vacuum cleaners, particulary if you live in a flat.

    Some people are so very inconsiderate, rude, and anti-social.

    I am afraid I cannot offer any advice, but just wanted to say that you are right to be very angry at this situation.
