Anti Social Behaviour from neighbours

Vespauk

My son has autism and anxiety/depression and we live in a ground floor flat which adapted as I also have disabilities.

Recently new neighbours moved in upstairs single mom with young child and anti social behaviour goes on 247 at weekends when her boyfriend comes over.  And there's issues during week as well.

As its council property I've reported it to housing officer since March giving her a weekly.log with times what's happening.  I have email from my sons Mentor about the excess noise and sent that onto housing officer and I'm at the point i can't live like this anymore and my sons is on edge all the time.

As anyone been through this and found anyone other than local  housing officer who can help.

Thank you

    Thank you so much for the recommation to social housing action campaign their website has been so much help and I've already asked for an ASB Case Reiew as I've report every day incidents since March, you only need 3 in 6 months so I've reported a fair few.  Waiting on mediation and asking for a think it was an N16a as well in the mediation meeting.  

  • I had a neighbour who used to come back from a club and bring it home with him, loud music at 4am when I had to get up and go to work the next day put me in such a bad mood, I went and knocked on the door and told them either turn it off, or I would come back with my axe and put it through any piece of noise making equipment I could find. Obviously the sight of me dishevelled and in silky nightwear and my hair sticking up was sufficiently terrifying for them to stop. I was told later by my neighbours that they could hear me and were giggling under the covers and wouldn't have seen or heard a thing if I'd have gone through with my threat.

  • I also live in the social housing. Sometimes you've got to put up with other people. I had a neighbour who blasted rap music and I had to put up with it until he moved out. 

  • I live in social housing and had ASB from a neighbor for  four years. I had contact with the Housing Association and the local policing team who were helpful. I am involved with Social Housing Action Campaign who have also helped me with advice. Maybe they could possibly advise you? There is a lot of information on their website. Stay strong, it is not a nice experience I know.  

  • Sorry this is happening to you.

    I haven’t experience of your problem, but where I live, Environmental Health has the power to deal with nuisance noise.

    I've not had this in social housing, but I have in private housing and there's nothing anyone can or will do, which seems totally unfair.

  • Sorry you are going through this, but I'm not sure what else you can do. Have you spoken to the environmental health department at your local council?
