Isn't it terrible that kids are actually playing as opposed to nicking cars and knifing each other.

Poor sods can never do right for doing wrong with some people.

Perhaps you should send out a flyer to all your neighbours letting them know in advance that you want some peace and quiet. Then they can make sure the children have no fun for a couple of hours so you get some quiet time.

well i sufferin from glandular fever at the moment and as i dont want to be in bed all the time during the nice sunshine, the furthest i can venture without passing out is the garden! I thought it would be lovely to sit in the sunshine, relax and recoup, but no...my neighbour insists on playing reggae music at full blast in his house with all the windows open.

No i know what you are thinking and there was no party just him, on his lonesome playing music to himself and peering at me triumphantly through the window.

Now im not averse to someone playing their music if thats how they want to entertain themselves, but why do they feel the need to entertain the whole street? and this was at ten in the morning!!!!!!

maybe im just cranky as im ill! or do i have a point?

Don't be so mardy!
I love hearing the kids playing out on our street and there are a lot of them believe me, it could be worse they could be out causing havoc
Yesterday our neigbour had a birthday bbq with music blaring, about 40 people there and when if eventually finished at about 10pm we could then hear terrible karaoke coming from houses over the back and loads of kids screaming but what the heck, we don't have enough of a summer to waste it sitting in the garden relaxing lol

I agree with you Coral Water ... other people's row is a pain and makes it hardly worth having a garden at all. The subject's been discussed on here before and you always get shouted down. I've got some over the wall here, screaming and shouting and arguing, and that's just the parents

Personally I think all the people having a go on this thread are probably the sort that we're complaining about

I live in a maisonette and don't have a garden - but as there are three small blocks in a sort of square shape there is an area in the middle....with grass and benches.....and at the moment there are children playing....parents are sitting out on chairs.....there is a large paddling pool full of screeching kids....and a grass slide....and you know what.....

IT IS FANTASTIC....just to see the kids having so much fun....not too much noise at all.

I went into our garden this morning looking for some peace and quiet when the air was suddenly rent with the noise of lawnmowers, strimmers, garden shredders and hedge trimmers. I'd finished by 3 o'clock and was absolutely knackered. It's nice and quiet now.

i dont mind hearing noise from kids playing etc. thats exactly what I expect from living in a residential area of family homes - what I do NOT like, is being kept up till midnight by some neighbours (3 in a row in fact) opposite having a party with loud music, cheering and even dancing on tables. Its our worst nightmare and something you dont expect when you've paid £250k for a brand new property - problem is the 'cheeper' barrat housing opposite seems to have attracted a rough crowd!!!!!

So the party was at one of the cheaper Barratt homes then...not at one of the expensive ones like you own....

Sounds like they were having fun and if having money and a big expensive house means you can't have fun then I never want to have money

Are you just bitter and twisted because you didn't get invited......

Good job you don't live near me....I am on a council estate and you know what - live and let live.....but don't forget we are well rough dodgy chavs on here

we all like to see kids playing nicely!!! i dont think thats the issue!! but its the kids who arent so little that hang around on your garden wall causing a nuisance that are the problem. Most kids dont just play nicely any more. im not generalising as i know there are some...but come on the majority are roaming the streets no where near their own homes causing trouble.

i dont mind people having parties but it was so selfish to have the music so loud that it woke up all the young kids in ALL the houses opposite (including my 11mth old baby)
it just really upset me because of the lack of thought or consideration for the neighbours. Like I said, I have no problem with people havin parties and playing music, just be considerate to others around you!

Possibly a quiet word asking them to let you know if they plan on doing it again so you can make arrangements to get babyjen13 out of the way might be the way forward?
