  1. I pulled in to the drive today to find the windows open and the sun shining. However it was not long before the sound of young alcohol-fuelled council estate dwellers permeated my ears. I glanced out of the window to see four bare-chested males strutting down the street gabbling loudly whilst holding their lager glasses. One of them carried a 24 pack of lager over his shoulder.

     

    Their loud expletive-laced banter began to recede but then I heard a much louder aggressive tone. Following them down our busy little backwater street was a man, also naked from the waist up and also holding a full beer glass, shouting at a woman, pushing his head up to hers and asking, “Tell me what I’ve **** done wrong. **** tell me what I’ve **** done.” They had a child in tow aged about 11. After more of the same, the child began swearing at the male who swore back. People were starting to gather to watch this episode. The female remained quiet and withdrawn during all of this and the male eventually stormed off to the precinct (where the alcohol and nicotine dealers trade). She and the child were sat on the steps to the precinct looking pretty miserable and waiting for something. Not him to return I sincerely hope..

     

    I recognised someone looking on with concern who worked at the local provisions shop. She informed me that the police had already been involved earlier in the day when this delightful pair were at the local pub and that the gentleman in question used to call in every morning to her store to buy a bottle of vodka. She stated that his partner was no better and had thrown boiling water at him recently.

     

    I observed several groups of chav-like people heading up and down our quiet little backwater remonstrating with each other about the episode and additional confrontations that had taken place since he had moved on.

     

    I sometimes feel less than fortunate that I am able to observe this species without having to leave my front door. There is something kicking off most weeks and probably much more that I don’t see. I would love to know how these people find so much free time to remonstrate and funds to purchase alcohol.

     

    At least I have the reassurance that Dave and his Big Society will sort out all of this once and for all.

    Bonfires and Burning Rubbish

    Garden bonfires and burning other rubbish can sometimes cause problems if not carried out with care.

     

    Our experience shows that the sporadic nature of nuisances of this type and the times of day that they occur make it very unlikely that the nuisance will be witnessed by one of our officers during a random call within normal working hours, it is also difficult for our officers to respond to calls to witness smoke nuisance. To overcome this difficulty and to get the investigation underway we will need your help and this guide explains how we can work together.

     

    The guide also gives advice on other aspect on dealing with neighbour nuisance including informal approaches, mediation and instigating your own legal proceedings. Though we are happy to investigate your complaint, it is often more satisfactory if disputes can be resolved informally between neighbours. For the benefit of relations with your neighbours and any future legal proceedings it is strongly advised that you consider this approach.

     

    For those of you in accommodation rented from the Housing Department or a Housing Association, where the person causing you a problem is also a tenant, it may be that your landlord may be able to help and you should make appropriate enquiries there.

     

    We hope that you will find the information helpful. If you require any further advice or help or if you feel that you are unable to complete the records please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to help.

     

    Bonfire Nuisance and how to deal with it - Bonfires and the Law

     

    It is a common misconception that there are specific by-laws to prohibit bonfires ¡ there are not. An outright ban would be difficult to enforce and very occasionally a bonfire is the best practical way to dispose of garden waste. If used sensitively the occasional bonfire should not cause a major problem. However, where a neighbour is causing a problem by burning rubbish, the law can be used for your protection.

     

    What is a Nuisance?

     

    A nuisance can be described as something happening on one premises which is significantly interfering with the enjoyment of another premises.

     

    The important point in this simple definition, is that the interference has to be significant. We all must realise that living in society we must put up with some inconvenience.

     

    Most nuisance are dealt with under civil law however the Environmental Protection 1990 defines a number of statutory nuisances these include:

     

    Smoke, fumes or gasses emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance.

     

    This definition can cover garden bonfires, burning domestic rubbish, burning commercial waste.

     

    Smoke being emitted from chimneys is dealt with under separate legislation.

     

    In practice to be considered to be a statutory nuisance a bonfire would have to be a persistent problem interfering substantially with your wellbeing, comfort or enjoyment of your property.

     

    Although statutory investigation can be undertaken an informal approach to your neighbour would normally be the first step.

    How to take Informal Action

     

    First, try talking to the people responsible for the nuisance. Politely explain how it affects you and ask your neighbour to reduce the disturbance. Here are a few tips which may help.

     

    Have a word with your neighbour before you get angry or upset. Don't wait to get 'uptight' about the problem. If you are upset wait until you are in a calmer frame of mind.

     

    Choose a convenient time. Say "I'd like to have a word about a problem I've got, as I think you may be able to help. When would it be convenient for you?" (invite your neighbour round for coffee or tea to discuss it, for instance. He or she will be more inclined to discuss it as your guest).

     

    Think beforehand about what you want to say. Be clear and precise about your view of the problem.

     

    Don't lay blame or accuse your neighbour of antisocial behaviour or bad attitudes.

     

    Never be quick to jump to assumptions about what has happened.

     

    Never shout, use abuse, bad language or threaten retaliation.

     

    Give your neighbour plenty of time to express his or her own views. Be patient, listen carefully, and try to understand what he or she is actually saying - don't assume you already know what he or she thinks.

     

    Be prepared to accept differences in attitudes, ways of life, etc. 'Live & let live', but be firm about those activities that cause inconvenience or harm. Let your neighbour say what he or she thinks, but don't be afraid to make your own views clear as well.

     

    Take the view that together you can sort the problem out and still remain on good terms. Be open to suggestions as to how the problem may be resolved.

     

    Don't assume that the first idea that comes into your head will be the best one - it may suit you but if it is inconvenient to your neighbour it probably won't work.

     

    Bring all the relevant issues into the open from the start. Don't keep the awkward bits hidden, or your neighbour may think that it is less of a problem that it really is.

     

    Be careful not to bring in matters that are not relevant to the immediate problem - like how your neighbour held a noisy house-warming party ten years ago but you didn't like to say anything at the time.

     

    Be reasonable. If your neighbour offers to make concessions or put him or herself out see if you can do the same, but don't rush to an unsatisfactory agreement just because you feel embarrassed about having a conflict. Both of you must feel entirely happy with the result if it is to work.

     

    If this approach doesn't work, then make a note of the fact that you have approached the person and their date and the response. Then put your complaint in writing to your neighbour in polite terms, again requesting a reduction in disturbance. You should allow at least two weeks for your neighbour to consider your request and take action. Copies of any letters should be kept for future reference.

    The use of Mediation Services

     

    If your informal approach fails, or you feel that you cannot approach your neighbours directly, you may find that the situation is helped by the use of a mediation service.

     

    We are lucky that in Sheffield we have such a service, which is known as MESH, the Sheffield Community Mediation Service. The service is designed to assist neighbours to resolve conflicts, it is free, impartial, independent and confidential, and it has a good track record of success.

     

    The MESH mediators act as go-betweens for the disputing parties and aim to reach a satisfactory outcome, or at least to open a channel of communication that will allow differences to be discussed without conflict.
