Entitled odd neighbours

If your neighbour is a social housing tenant and the police take action against him his own tenancy could be at risk. It’s difficult to know if that will make him moderate his behaviour, or escalate it as he ( completely irrationally) blames you for his situation.
I echo others saying to keep evidence. You may be able to persuade the council to give your move a higher priority.

Could you potentially rent privately again?

I think this is the reality of some streets where the council own most of the properties still. I remember a child taking a shit in our front garden once and a six year old who used to hang around the street smoking cigarettes.

I'm not saying all council tenants are like this, but there do seem to be problem streets.

You can be moved soecially if the Police charge him and with tte ring door evidence , plus try to find details of this face book site.Go and speak to tte council again.If they dont help speak to citizens advice or shelter, shelter woukd be my first choice.
It may mean going back to emergency accommodation so maybe they meant you cant be move directly into another property, but you should reapply to the housing list and maybe see if you can get a direct offer

If the neighbours are also social housing tenants then you need to advise them about the issues as well. Keep all the evidence of their behaviour, keep a diary, and tell the manager what is happening. Often it takes a while for them to build a case of antisocial behaviour but there is action that can be taken. And tell the police as well, I know you have done that, but keep telling them about any further issues.
I used to be a housing officer for a local authority, and it's building the case that is important. A constant problem has to be proved for action to take place.

Omg that's awful. I wouldn't answer the door to them anymore. I'd call the police and report his threatening behaviour. Could you save up and move out? I wouldn't want to stay there long term.

Oh god I've lived that nightmare except I had an 8 month old at the time that was teething and she was going to burn us alive in our sleep she however had parties 4-5 nights a week where the drum and bass would make the walls vibrate and my daughter couldn't sleep and I was exhausted all the time
sadly I tried speaking to her I tried the council and the police she got served a warning letter but nothing really changed until after 2 years when I was so stressed and exhausted I couldn't hear myself think and I lost it I picked up a hammer that I had on the side and hit the wall with it repeatedly then I went outside and hit the adjoining gate with it and I told her next time it would be her f*ing skull and that I was sick of being bullied by her and I wasn't standing for it anymore I went a bit crazy tbh but that's the highlights but she was nice as anything after and the music 4-5 nights a week stopped ! I was still very relieved when we managed to move after 4 years though sorry your going through this keep on and on at the council and collect any evidence of recordings etc good luck !

Hi, Have you talked to the council or housing association. Where i live we have neighbourhood coaches who can help with these issues.

Just keep to yourself but document every interaction/video stuff carefully. It might help in the future.

These people sound crazy. Nothing you can do that you're not doing already ie call police, ring camera etc
Just ignore them, if they've set up a FB group who cares. Just style it out until you get a swap
