BBC - Action Network - How to deal with nuisance neighbours
This link might be useful to you.

I have lived in eleven different houses. I know what torment bad neighbours can be. On my last move I sold my (owned) terraced house because I had bad neighbours on both sides. I was so desperate to move that I sold it for much less than its value, but could do that because I had been offered a council tenancy on medical grounds.

I have 'let lucky' and now live where the SILENCE took some getting used to. -it is really wonderful to have peace and quiet. Now that I have found how wonderful that is I would fight tooth and nail to keep it this way.

I send you all my sympathy Mez. Losing sleep can make us oldies feel 'off' for several days, and in your case it happens every 7, so it impacts your life in a way that they don't realise.(or perhaps don't care about)

There is no way of avoiding noise nuisance totally unless you move to a hut on the moors :D or are rich enough to buy a retirement home in a gated old persons community

I thought I was blessed to live on the very edge of town, away from traffic, and have reasonably quiet neighbours, but last night I was disturbed at 2 am and again at 3 am by small groups of young people walking past laughing and talking loudly. I am used to total night silence so any noise wakes me. I need to look out to check that there has not been arson on the allotments (usually happens at least once a year)
They were not drunk and carrying bottles, as used to be the case only a couple of years ago, so the police seem to have gained some control of young anti social behavour around here. There must have been a party nearby and they were taking a shortcut home across the field and the allotment paths. So some poor soul living next door to a party got it much worse than me :)

The result for me is that I am not having a day out at the coast as planned. So just a little thoughtlessnes on their part has spoilt my day a little, - but my little disturbance is 'small fry' compared with yours

It would be lovely if people were more considerate and less selfish.

I've moved into a gable end house, its nice to have only one neighbor to terrorize with my guitar playing :hehetable

You wouldn't be saying that if you'd have lived in the block of flats where I live, the drunken prat who had an upstairs flat made our lives a misery for 18 months, until he final did a runner before he was kicked out. Its no fun drunks shouting a bawling at 3 and 4 o'clock in a morning virtually every night:mad:

But it is my experience that some people complain because they still see the light on.

Then again i wouldn't live in a block of flats, certainly not after my experience in that apartment on scaitcliffe street.

How many flats is there in the block? Do you hear when people are walking above you?. The place on scaitliffe street was really bad for that, you would think 100 people where jumping up and down

Landlords could reduce the tenant turnover rate if they took sound nuisance more seriously by sound insulating communal stairwells. The bare brick and concrete look amplifies any sound. There are such things as rubber flooring and acoustic wall tiles which would absorb sound in those areas.

PS I have a neighbour who talks to himself, loudly, and stomps up and down the stairwell in boots at all hours of the night. When his door slams, my bed shakes.

Now how's this for the ideal solution, the Council gets all its deadbeats, lowlifes & asboists, then packs them all in together in a social housing block of flats in a run down area where they won't bother anyone else & then leave them to it. Gets my vote :D

Since the council's housing stock was passed to a housing association that policy has gone out the window and everybody gets some of 'them/its'(half humans) nearby, and no-one wants to move to Within Grove -hence half the houses are boarded up.

When I first moved in I wanted to befriend them and my other next door neighbor is a really good friend. He was reasonable at first when I approached him about the noise and it would go down for a while then creep back up again. He also plays loud music at all hours when he's on a drinking session after winning at the bookies or just received his benefits. I've heard his mother sobbing loudly as he shouted at her using very inappropriate language. This is a dysfunctional relationship and I think there should be more careful consideration given when allowing people to become carers for their relatives. They are not always suitable.

I've been going through the process of logging the disturbances but its really erratic and varies by the week. I feel for anyone who has noisy neighbors.

PS you can call the night time team during the evenings this week as there is an extra service for a limited time
