Entitled odd neighbours

You can either do one of 2 things here. You can try and be nice and start again. Maybe take over a crate of beer or something as a peace offering. Say something like "oh a friend bought this over but I won't drink it, would you like it". See how they react?

Or you can go the opposite way and shout back at them! Stand your ground and show them that you are not someone to mess with. Tell them the next time they come knocking you'll be fucking ready, record the whole thing and you'll call 999 and follow through with everything. Tell them if they key your car you'll take a fucking knife to their tyres... tit for tat crap is sometimes needed with neanderthals like this!

Maybe try kindness first, then you can show the council that you did try a calm resolution to begin with.

Don't move, you'll regret it! Council housing is such a struggle to get, private renting is so expensive and risky.

Report the Facebook group. Tell them all you are leaving and get out. It sounds very toxic to me and unsafe

Good idea, and free all the other animals.

Wow!

At a risk of getting flamed, Council estates do house a lot of trouble makers.

And i have lived on them all my life

I have seen time after time, good people be driven out of their homes Four families in seperate areas that i know personally have been driven away

The thing is, the Council will only house the most vulnerable in society and a proportion of these have severe and enduring MH conditions that don't only affect them, can make some people violent towards others.

I could tell you several stories but dont want to out myself - however, what i woudl say is move, you won't win. You try and fight this and you will oepn yourself up to years of hassle, diary keeping and potential physical attacks

Don't give up your council house. It's harder to get another. Just keep reporting any threats etc. They will soon do something about it.

Hi I'm new here but saw this post

Was in a similar situation before only was just me and my partner in the property

Rave music every night, drugs at the property going on and like you was told neighbours hated us as soon as we had moved in.

This is one of the most difficult situations to resolve trust me. Building a case is very difficult and ultimately we tried but we're forced to move in the end.

It started affecting my partner's and family members health so I cut my losses and moved.

If this were to happen again though, don't listen to others peace advice on here, the council are a load of rubbish and do nothing to assist, ask for evidence that is just impossible to capture at the times they want, we got the police involved he was always out when they came to question him....

Honestly if I was in the same situation again I should've done what I wanted to do in the first and give him a good hiding, police won't do anything unless a crime is recorded, councils are weak and don't enforce.

Make their lives a misery instead report the alcoholic to police and claim you have seen bottles around the property and you fear for your kids safety

As for the big chav, there's ways and means of dealing with people that act hard in front of women, plenty of people will take £100 to hospitalize him just need to know where to look there's always someone bigger

They will force you out unless you stand firm

Good luck

Ooh OP, I sympathise.

But 'Entitled' and 'Odd' are not the words I'd use to describe your neighbours. How about

Brutish, thick, violent, moronic,unhinged, bullying...just for starters?

You are not doing anything wrong. Your daughter will have a shout or scream her hormones are bonkers at the moment.
Now the neighbour who told you that everyone hates you, is jealous. So just ignore her .have you got any friends or a bug brother who could call to her house and tell her to keep away. As for the threatening one keep a diary .time date and write, everything that is said / done. I hope you have someone who you can offload all this too.
Please try to be busy at home. Do not chat or speak with the aggressive ones.
Treat them like your a detective and you have to note everything. Any damage photo it. Obviously if he threatens you. Ring 999 as its timed and recorded. I have had a very similar experience. So please look after you and your daughter. Take care hugs xxx

Go to the council with your crime ref number and they should move you on the like for like transfer list
my friend had similar but this time was a man with a knife at the door and they moved her and her kids

I had neighbours like this before we moved. Their children would be screaming the house down at 4am in the morning but if mine made a peep after 7pm they were banging the door down and making violent threats. They found my business page on Facebook and harassed me through there!

Some people are just nuts and the only solution is to move. Look for a private rental if you have to. People will say you're mad to give up a council house but you can't put a price on peace of mind. My current house is nearly double the rent I paid in my old place but I sleep soundly.

I have a crazy neighbour she thinks she owns the damn street. I've filed a police complaint over a month ago which has been logged but no sign of a police officer to actually discuss whats been going on. My 18year old has actually moved out because of this horrible neigbour. She hears the slightest noise from outside and she instantly comes knocking and insisting that its my kids making a racket. This woman has made numerous threats to smash my face in. Yeah my kids can be a little noisy but she literally says im telling my kids to bang walls to piss her off on purpose. This woman has actually came out making threats to have her family watch me go out to work to come tie me up and take me off in a van where nobody's gonna find me, she harasses my visitors and films them on her phone having a go at them for no reason. My daughter ended up leaving after this crazy cow came out to her calling her a vile little slag and she was was saying stuff to her boyfriend saying my daughters cheating and threatened to smack my daughter up the mouth. Police literally don't seem to care. They are aware of all of this abusive behaviour and have done nothing its ridiculous honestly. Police wonder why nobody has any faith when they do nothing to help. My neighbour is literally getting away with thinking she can do what she likes and behaving like she has some authorities within the street

Chester Zoo? Along with their Frankenstein dogs.

I would send the footage and keep requesting a move. Keep records of what’s happening and the affect it’s having on you both and ignore him if he comes to the door.
You shouldn’t have to do this but make your daughter aware she needs to keep it down otherwise the thug will be at the door.
Taking paracetamol as soon as her period starts is one way to get on top of the pain and keep it you for first day or two - it is awful having periods at that age and she’s had a lot of change.

Holland did once suggest this, about 10 years ago.

Ignore them and keep reporting to the police and go to the council too.
They sound like wastes of spaces who are intimidated by you because you are a decent human being.

How bad were her melt downs?

I've lived here 15 years and the kids kick off either side but I wouldn't go round.

She is, though.

Honestly, where can we put all these cunts? They need somewhere to live where they're not ruining everyone else's lives and can just be aggressive with other aggressive idiots. An idiot village?

@CosyLemur Leaving aside the fact that your comment is certainly deliberately goady, I'd suggest that subsequent events would have proved her right, if so.

Where on earth was that implied?!?
