To make a complaint against HA because of constant anti social behaviour from neighbours?

RTFT

Try and swap before giving up your lifetime tenancy and moving to private.

The unpalatable truth (to some) is that chances are you’ll get better neighbours in the private sector than in social housing.

Im sorry but you're upset that a cat was looking in your window? 😂😂😂what about birds or foxes, are they allowed to look or not?

A hedge or similar will work wonders here

the only thing you can really complain about however is the noise

yes we now understand re the cat but you have to admit you worded it badly

When your pyracantha gets properly established your neighbours won't venture across the boundary, OP. If you can't wait that long, put up a fence.

That and privacy film on your windows will sort most of your issues.

Try for a mutual exchange, that way you’re still a social housing tenant. There’ll be lots of people wanting to move into a new build.

Yeah they’re not going to do anything. My friend lives in a flat where the man above her plays the sound of screaming babies all night to annoy her and threatens her when she asks him to stop. The HA have just told her to move or deal with it because he has MH issues…

Open windows, play loud music with very explicit lyrics. They will fuck off eventually, as they won't be able to hear themselves think.

You could end up paying more for less, more issues and limited security.

can you not use the potential removals money to build a fence out front?

@housinglass could you do a diagram? Am struggling to see why on earth they’d do what you are describing, are they meeting up in your front garden? Or is your window directly onto public access?

Just be aware @housinglass that the situation won't necessarily be any better in a private rental. I had to leave an otherwise gorgeous apartment in a lovely location due to neighbours. They were noisy and loud until 1 or 2 in the morning, kids out of control, fighting in the street. My landlady was their landlady but because they paid on time she wouldn't do anything. In the end we moved.

There’s a teenage deterrent near us. My young adult sons can hear it, and possibly my dog, but I can’t.

OP, my child and I live in a brand new HA house and have difficult neighbours but NONE of what you described is anti social behaviour. I’m sorry but it’s just not. I’m not saying it’s not annoying/irritating/unneighbourly behaviour but sadly, due to where the benchmark has to be these days, this doesn’t quite reach it for ASB.
By all means get a private rent but this would be a catastrophically bad decision in the long run. Housing association properties are lifetime tenancies! Private renting (I did it for 19 years), can end at any time should the landlord wish to sell the property - yes, even after the supposed ‘renter’s rights bill’, they can still end a tenancy if they genuinely wish to sell the property. In 19 years of privately renting, I had landlords sell up a total of 8 times. They also (round here at least) always require an income of at least 2.5 x the rent amount AND a guarantor who is 1. A homeowner and 2. Has an income of at least 3 x the rent amount! In many areas (not all, I’m sure), private renting is becoming something purely for the elite! But that’s a different conversation.

Personally I would do what I could to mitigate the issues and try to get past it.
One thing I’d install, is one of those mouse deterrent super-high pitched sound makers as adolescent kids can hear those and they find them uncomfortable. Also helps to keep cats away! I’d also do what PPs suggest and get privacy film and heck, even try to get some big boulders or something equally as large, to put outside your window. Is there room for a cheap old banger to park there, even?! Might end up being the best £200/£300 you’ve ever spent! (If it’s declared SORN with regards to road tax - to declare a car SORN is free if you’re not already aware - and it’s not parked on the road, then it doesn’t need to be insured!)

Cat was lost. Neighbour was out looking for her cat, in the bush, on the OP's drive/garden.

I thought you said the cat was on a bush, so why was she looking through your window?

Could you swap houses with one of them? Is that a thing?

Get a fence built down either side of your driveway and the problem is solved. I had to do this as one nuisance neighbour was tramping through my garden deliberately to destroy my flowers and another man was using my front grass as his dogs personal pooing grass.

Also, why can't you put the planters back to where they were before the storm tipped them over?

It read like you were upset at the cat staring in to your house and scaring the kid. I admit, that bit was quite funny. Sinister bloody cat!

I can’t really picture this -is it a driveway for a car to park? Is there grass outside your house -can’t you just get a big tub with a tree for by your window or in front of it

You wrote it poorly. It was very unclear.

When I closed my curtains the other day as one of the neighbours cats ( who I have never even spoken too) was in my bush by my window and literally looking into my house one of my little one's started crying so it affecting my kids as well now.

I'm a bit confused by the layout - can the HA not put a physical boundary around your driveway? A fence or something?
