s5285 Â Â 10 #1 Posted January 3, 2012 I have the worst neighbours in history. I have had countless problems with them over the years and endless arguments. The walls to our house are thin and we have to constantly listen to them argue and fight at all hours of the day. They now have a motorcycle which is started up and reved on the back garden for 10 minutes before being driven down the footpath that runs at the bottom of my garden, this happens anytime from 6am. ANd now to top it off they have chickens and a cockerel which crows from 5am and then carries on throughout the day. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do about any of this as they aren't the type of neighbours that you can speak to and reason with.

Plain Talker   11 #3 Posted January 3, 2012 Call the Council Noise Pollution Team, for a start, and you need to start keeping a diary of the date and times of the nuisance, the type of nuisance, (eg a fight, or the bike revving etc) and how long it lasts.

Plain Talker   11 #7 Posted January 3, 2012 The 'Council Noise Pollution Team'?! Christ, you can just imagine what that set of jobsworths are like can't you?!  Yes, they very efficient, actually. A friend of mine has been having noise problems from his neighbours, they are holding loud parties, fighting, and doing DIY through the night. he's had two visits so far from the team to gather evidence, and action is to be taken against the culprits.  Job done!
