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 ?

  • You could have videoed the dogs yourself to prove it.

    People generally are very selfish, and councils are too lackadaisical to be bothered.  The thing our council does which I find outrageous, if you call to complain about late night noise disturbance, they insist on coming into your house (regardless that it's the night and you may have children) to listen for themselves to what level you can hear it.  Do they seriously think you would be inventing a noise complaint in the night-time for the fun of it, usually the offender is loud enough (e.g. for parties) to be heard outside anyway).  It's awful, the onus is on the complainant to have the disruption and inconvenience and difficulty on top of suffering a noise disturbance.  No-one wants to punish the offenders.  Perhaps it's against their human rights!
