Problem neighbours

Secret hate letters turn Shiptonthorpe village to 'poison'

The anonymous letters are described as “personal, obscene and targeted.”

So much possibility.

My missus told me to drop an anon letter into my neighbour to try get them to keep the noise down and stop their kid screaming with the walls being so thin.

Told her it probs wasn’t the wisest move since the neighbour on the other side of their house doesn’t exist. :lol:

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?

Yep. Took 14 years to move her on. And only next door to one of the poorlest people I support with mental health, took her exactly 3 weeks to start on them. Goodluck.
 

Years ago I was in one place and fell out with the landlord over rent and when I moved over the road he got this horrible family of bile spewing, ugly, entitled oddballs in. I think they’re in some kind of weird cult cos as they can’t / won’t make friends with normal people.

Their house is disgusting - you want to see the loft conversion they’ve just had done - and for some reason despite numerous crimes they never seem to be properly punished by the authorities.

The good news is I’m soon moving to a swanky new gaff on the docks where I won’t have to see so much of them any more.
 
In my experience there’s little the authorities can do and these people stick around until they shack up with somebody else somewhere else and the cycle repeats for some other unfortunate next door neighbour.

Unless they move someone really bad in and they both get dragged out the window by armed police, as was the case with my old next door neighbour.

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.

Essentially second paragraph is the way to go, it's when the council moved a young family in with young children next door, this women targeted the kids about playing in the garden, that's when agencies took notice, still it took them 3 years, of contant complaints various evidence. Not directly involved as near the end of street, however, often heard her ranting and raving at ambulances she had called police tazoring her as she made threats of harm to others etc.

This is according to AI, as it'll take me too long to explain; I think it's a USA disease...it's usually it's in reference to the POS in the neighborhood getting in everyone's business and handing out "violations" of the HOA's (home owner's association; probably something invented by middle class white American's) CC&R's: Ask any American, they'll likely have their own story.

An HOA Nazi is a term used to describe an oppressive homeowners' association (HOA). Some people use this term to describe HOAs that they believe are acting in a similar way to Nazis.


HOAs are responsible for ensuring that everyone follows the rules. They can do this by: Enforcing the HOA code, Fining residents, Placing liens on homes, and Pursuing lawsuits for construction defects.


Some say that HOAs can be more oppressive than governments. For example, HOA boards may:
  • Require residents to keep their garage doors closed
  • Require residents to paint their houses a specific color
  • Prohibit residents from parking handicapped vans in their driveways

And we complain about property factoring.
 
Do we have HOA in the UK thought it was a states thing?.

We just have neighbours who know everyone's business.
