council

[shazzzz]

after years of greef from my mad nieghbour,i have had enough.The council told me the person was moving so i let things go.That was a year ago things have started up again and i want to do something about it .what can i do to take action

[SRH]

For starters, have a look at this:

I had a similar problem a few years ago when my next door neighbours (man and a woman) fought with each other every night - yelling and screaming before making up and having VERY loud sex! I had to put up with them kicking their own front door in and throwing things against the inside walls (it was a terraced house - so very noisy at 4am). They both always had black eyes and both seemed to give as good as they got. The council's response when I complained? 'Invite the woman in for a cup of tea and a chat - she's obviously in trouble'. No she wasn't! They obviously saw violence as foreplay. No way was I letting that mad cow in my house!

I moved because of work, but if I had stayed I would have followed the advice in the link above.

Hope you get it sorted.

isac-hunt may or may not have had tongue -in-cheek when they posted, but the advice is I'm sorry to say, quite accurate.
You will not be able to win with your neighbours and involving the council will not help much either...or it will take so long and result in so much extra abuse tha you may wish you had never started it.
The quickest and most permanent solution is to move.
Sorry to be so defeatist and really sorry if you don't eant to move.

thank you for your replys. SRH. looked at goverment guidlines and i have done everything it says. They lost all my diaries,police say its a council matter, council sent me to medeiation left because one of them was hurlin abuse and trying to climb table.they are both violent ,and im not going to move ,i need the name of a firm that takes councils to court for lacking in care of there tennants run by the goverment,

Shazzzz i hope you have more luck than i did, i had in the end move home because the council would do nothing for 16 months, i even submitted a letter from my doctor stating he had to put me on Nerve pills and Anti Depressants because of the noise i was getting, morning , noon and night, music playing in every room in the house *well apart from the loo* and he bought a slate pool table, the ones the pubs have and installed it in the bedroom right below mine, it was fun :( plus the council conveniently lost my diaries too, but stick with it hunni, and hope you get it sorted soon
