neighbour from hell

oh god, that's just horrible. Do you mind sending me a PM with the area you live in and any details you can give me? I'll post on some FB groups, see if someone can do something to help those animals.

Those poor dogs :( Also, RSPCA are beyond useless, they wouldn't do anything to stop cruelty if it were happening on their doorstep. Have you tried contacting local rescues, posting on animal welfare and dog loving fb groups? Sometimes with enough people involved the community can rally around and force her to do something out of fear of being ostracised. As someone who is passionate about animal welfare I can certainly say like minded people would get involved.Scrolling mums net during a meeting and just realised that I am very late to the game here, hopefully the situation was sorted, for both yourself and those poor animals.

@MissJD - in addition to the Daily Mail article - you ,any wish to try to write to the key people of Clarion at their registered office address - details highlighted in the attached from the FCA website

Well, it's now in the mass circulation Daily Mail so maybe the poor OP can capitalise on that

Address your complaints to the CEO of your housing association.

Hi OP, you want to check your personal messages by going to the top right of the too of the screen, you should have some notifications up there (PMs appear in a slightly different place from thread notifications so you should have a second number near the read one I have). This isn't on the App though, so it might not help if you use that.

It can takes ages, eg, months to evict someone

@MikMak
What you said about animals dying has made me wonder....you don't live next door to Katie price do you?

We have an animal hoarder neighbour. She's a nightmare. 15 cats, 6 dogs in a 2 bed house. Claims to run an informal 'cat rescue'. You can smell the house from outside, flies crawling out of the letterbox. Dogs never exercised, yelled at, sworn at, grabbed roughly by the collar. Landlord doesn't care, claims tenant 'loves' animals. We've had to ring-fence our gardens to stop animals crapping all over them and in retaliation neighbour now claims to anyone who will listen that we maim and kill her animals. She has a high turnover of pets dying, but suspect this is mostly due to conditions inside the house. Environmental health ad rspca seem powerless and can't force entry to do welfare check. Don't want to get legal, despite false slander, as it will be a recorded dispute if we want to sell. I wish the government had stricter laws on pet ownership and animal rescues. You shouldn't be allowed to run one without proper facilities space in my opinion.

I've sent you a private message with my telephone number. x

Animal hoarding disorder…. OR she’s just an utter piece of shit - I’m pretty sure stealing someone’s pension doesn’t come under any disorder 😄 just scum.

To private message go to the three dots at the bottom of the post you want to message and it will give you the option to PM the poster @MissJD

Hiya,
I'm so sorry you are going through this.
I am involved in animal rescue and have been involved in several situations similar to yours, all with successful outcomes for the animals and people that are suffering too.
I have no clue how mumset works, is there a way we can talk or message directly?

I wouldn't do the Ombudsman, they're useless.

Have a look at the Community Trigger, it should be on your local authority website. Basically if you can prove you have made 3 separate complaints in total to ANY agency about ASB the community Trigger has to pick it up.

The CT will bring the council, EH, Clarion and even the police round a table to explain and justify their actions.

HAs and the local authority don't like them as they have to be reported on how many they are involved in.

Check out the govt website for the ASB crime and policing act 2014, its all on there. But also, legally HAs have far less legal recourse and powers to deal with noise nuisance than the councll/EH do as HAs don't have devolved powers so can't do community protection orders, noise abatement notices etc which is why its vital you get EH on board and do what they say.

If you have the head space, make a complaint to Clarion about their failure to follow their own complaint process and ‘keep you in the loop’. Your MP is well placed to support you with this. Lack of sleep is horrendous and makes you wonder if you’re thinking clearly- especially when no one seems to be reacting to this horrible situation!

Please talk to your local councillor if you haven't already. Their job is to represent you and it sounds like you need them to get on and do that. What you describe sounds cruel to the dogs and inconsiderate (at best) to everyone else. Everyone will do their best to pass it on until they're forced to pick it up.

As an aside... I used to be a councillor some years ago. I had a very distressed lady come to see me. She lived in a tower block. For ten months she'd been trying to tell her housing office that there was a HORSE in the flat above her. Nobody believed her. Clearly everyone thought she was mad and they'd gone as far as telling her to visit her GP to discuss her mental health. I went to visit and I could definitely hear hooves and neighs. I was initially ignored (because the housing officers thought she was mad) finally I insisted (by turning up in her office and refusing to leave until she agreed!) that the director of housing went on a joint visit with me... guess what ... a horse living on 8th floor in the middle of the city!! The point is your local councillor needs to help you resolve this
