Problem neighbours

There's one absolute arse pain in my street. Quite a troubled soul in social housing, single mom, but by christ they test sympathy. Fortunately not right next door.

A revolving door of dodgy boyfriends who either end up kicking off, or seem to attract people who kick off at them. Blatantly calling down dealers and buying in the street. Some of the older residents, who live closer, are starting to feel a bit threatened/upset by it all, in particular.

Feels mean spirited to complain to the council, but it really does destroy the peace when someone is kicking off at half 4 on a Sunday morning and the cops rock up. Again.

Anyone had to deal with similar?

Have a similar family a few doors on from me, only house that's an issue as most neighbours are older people with grown up kids or kids who've left home. I've never reported them for anything coz I work on the assumption other neighbours will do it and tbh I think they're ignorant selfish pricks but as long as they don't bother me directly then it's not an issue. However, on Friday night a fight spilled out from their house (God knows how they fit so many people in their house) but it was a mass brawl and some daft bint was screeching "stab him" over and over again so I dialled 999. The call centre said they had already had multiple reports and police were blue lighting their way here. 10 mins till they got here and everyone had dispersed by the but anyways, at least I didn't have to mop someone's brother, son, dad off the pavement in the morning.

If you're thinking of reporting them doing it to the council via a noise/anti social behaviour complaint is pretty pointless - they'll send them a letter and unless you're prepared to give evidence against them (and identify yourselves) it won't go any further. The more effective avenue is if children are involved do it through social services, logging a concern for the children's welfare. Some councils have a Multi Agency Screening Team where they bring the school, housing association, social services, all the parents together and go at it from every angle. That'd be the most effective way of disrupting them in the way they're disrupting your life and you don't have to identity yourself.

Good luck with it.

Not one other person in my street would be welcome. Nice people, but weirdos. I don't belong here.

Weirdo's sounds fun. What we looking at? The guy that cleans his sports car three times a week but only drives it once a month?
Her that's a maniac that goes the asda at the end of the day to pick up cheap loaves to make breadcrumbs for the birds, put's em out in the evening when the birds are asleep yet wonders why there's thousands and thousands of rats stalking the area?
The shy quiet one you're convinced is building a home made atomic bomb in the secret bunker he's dug under his gaff?
Weirdo's or weirdos?

Yes, that's also a consideration.

Complex one, one kid I'm fairly sure was taken off her and lives with his Dad. The other, fathered by a fella who is in and out of jail (latest I'm told is for stabbing someone), is with her. I'm certain social services monitor. Not a great environment for the kid, but really don't feel like being part of it ending up in foster.

Not good.

Sounds to me like you're stalking her
