Sun is out, neighbours are out. Who else has annoying neighbours..

[GoldenPineapples]

Yes everyone is allowed to enjoy their garden and yes especially when it's sunny.

Unfortunately I live next door to the cast of Shameless.

First real hint of sun, out comes the Stella, the shouting, the kids screaming, the bbq.. it sounds like I live next to a loud pub garden..

I tried sitting outside with a nice cider about half 5 but had to come in because of the loud noise that is coming from next door. Sadly they are the type of neighbours where it could shut up about 9pm or it could go on until the early hours..

They've had police called on them (from other neighbours) for shouting, swearing and fighting in the street, they don't care for the law or anything else and talking to them have proved pointless in previous years.

Not a lot I can do, just feel like a whinge in here and not looking forward to another summer of them.. it's not forever because one day I will be able to afford to move.

Until then..

Perhaps I could come round to practice my scales? I'm learning the bagpipes. I'm only a beginner so not very good yet. I'd like to start early, before I have to go to work. I like to march around in the open air while playing.

My buddy is learning the drum.

We moved to get away from obnoxious drug slattern and the baby shits from hell. Music shaking the walls, kids screaming constantly, arses being smacked, loud sex noises from the paddling pool, baby shits pissing over the fence and turding under the enormous trampoline. Drug dealer boyfriend peddling his wares in a vest. Kids Climbing over the fence, or through the windows stealing food. I fucking dreaded the summer. My new neighbour has a sprinkler system on his lawn and doesn't have a baby shit to piss on a patch scorched earth... It was a beautiful house on a brand new development too, we ended up spending £5k of just to get away from it. Best money I have ever spent.

In between screaming at each other mine have been singing lullabies to their baby in the garden - except it wasn't rock-a-bye baby - it was a selection of badly done grime/rap.

@Mammatino please tell me you contacted social services about that family? Sounds like a serious case of neglect if you have children so desperately hungry they're climbing through windows to get food.

We've had a couple move in next to us, their garden goes down one side of ours and a field behind. They treat the field like their garden with the guard dog given full run. It barks continually if we're out. I've given up putting my dogs away and hosed them continually yesterday. They were in their garden, with family refusing to get off their arse and calling the dog who ignored them. Didn't bat an eyelid at their soaking wet dog. Mix in 2 giant bonfires not in their garden but the field behind me and the entire roof rubble dumped at the bottom of our garden. Anyone reading this who knows me will instantly recognise and with any luck so are they....if they are "you really are a giant wank bubble, ps I'm going to object to every planning application you put in simply because you're a twat"

I contacted the social services 3 Times, about the neglect, the drug use and the beatings. I sent the police and social services cctv footage of the drug deals, of the children cowering under the trampoline naked in the rain... The kids father did, as did several other neighbours and the school. So did the hospital when they were both in for their heads gluing for the fourth time in three months. Not enough evidence to prove neglect or abuse apparently. So she phoned the police and accused me of using my cctv to make and distribute images of children(which was instantly dismissed) after the social services cited me as a whistle-blower. We moved. Doing the right thing and standing up for vulnerable children cost us our home, our peace of mind and £5k.... It was still the right thing to do.

Fair play @Mammatino

When all that isn't enough to have children removed from the home, it puts into perspective those people who claim that Social Services steal children for no reason.

Mine are away and not annoying in general.

Dust cart came just after 7am- local council have form for this and even came at 5am a couple of times last summer. They have to reverse and sound their reversing horn.

Mammatino even though now you have moved, should you not contact the local government ombudsman about the council's response? Local MP as well perhaps assuming you have one of the few worth bothering with.

'First real hint of sun, out comes the Stella, the shouting, the kids screaming, the bbq.. it sounds like I live next to a loud pub garden..' Mine are like this too.
The barking dogs, although this is any time of the year. Why get a dog if you do not plan to walk it??
The music, why do you think everyone wants to hear your choice of music, turn the bloody thing down!!
Neighbours whose voices have no volume control and you can hear every word of their conversations. Why do some people have no self awareness??
The grandchildren!!
My direct neighbours gardens are full of children's toys all for their noisy , screechy grandchildren. They even have a huge trampoline erected right next to my patio, I am currently trying to grow bamboo to screen it. Who in their right mind would position it there?? Put it higher up in your garden where it intrudes on you not your neighbours. Why the hell do your grandchildren and all the family have to descend on your garden every time the sun is out, go visit them for a change and leave me in goddamn peace.

My exNDN son used to climb over the dividing wall and jump into my garden to fetch his errant football.
I put lots of bamboo canes in the lawn and veg patch. He soon thought twice about jumping into my garden again.
The absolute relief when shouty, sweary mum and her barking, three dogs moved out.
My sympathies for everyone who doesn't have decent neighbours.

The barking dogs, although this is any time of the year. Why get a dog if you do not plan to walk it??

It's not that simple. DDog had a 3 hour walk yesterday but still barked to let me know that NDNs were coming out their back door, that another neighbourhood dog was barking, and that my upstairs neighbour was opening their window amongst other things. He's not even an especially barky dog, and he was brought back inside every time he did bark, but walking a dog doesn't reliably stop all barking.

Some dogs have separation anxiety and will bark in distress if their owners aren't there, walks or no walks.

Very outing, so have namechanged, but this is next doors garden that has taken shape over the past weeks. In a small-ish garden we have: football goals in a netted area with numerous balls, basketball hoop, pool table, trampoline, gym equipment including weights, exercise bike, heavy ropes and tyres for an "obstacle course" and now a "bar area" complete with TV and radio. Lovely bright light that shines into the bedroom window too. What a lovely peaceful summer we're going to have 🙄

hope for rain.

Omg the shouting!! We have a family of nesbitts over the French and the dad shouts as loud as he possibly can even when the person it's directed at is a foot away from him. Just shouting, shouting and more shouting, fetch me a Stella!! Fuck off and play with your mates, get back in this fucking house!! He threatened to cave the 6ish yo daughters head in yesterday Cos she splashed water.

Did I mention the constant shouting??

Over the french = over the fence

bacawill, reminds me of the eyesore constructed in my mums neighbours’ garden one year. A ramshackle chicken coop, a basketball hoop, some sofas, a tv, the green pond and the crowning glory - a darts ‘room’ constructed of breeze blocks with a tarpaulin roof it’s all still there now, rotting away about 5 years later. Including the tv

Oh no 🤦🏽‍♀️*@CakeNinja* I was hoping this would be a short lived affair but I doubt it. The rattle of balls being clattered into each other around the pool table for the last hour has just about done it for me and so we're off to DM's for the rest of the afternoon.

Very frustrating we can't enjoy our own back garden. I genuinely don't mind the general noise of children playing and gatherings for bbqs etc- we have neighbours backing on to our garden and along both sides and no other family make anything near the antisocial racket of this family.

Sorry, think you might be in it for the long haul! Mum’s neighbours, although nice enough people, are real boozers and spend most of their time out the front of their house with their cans of lager sitting on dining chairs chatting to passers by, treating everyone to their beloved country and western music! At least it’s not all year round I suppose 🤦🏼‍♀️

Omg Bacawill! From the thumbnail I thought that bright green section was a fence they'd painted. Now I see it's an astroturfed (?) netted area

Do you own your place? Can you install some evergreen pleached hedging along your fence? And wear earplugs the rest of the time? I think I'd have to move

Annoying neighbours here too. The whole family does everything at loud volume. I have to hear Phoebe and Freya (the daughters - yes I have heard their names shouted so often I feel I send should Christmas cards) and the son (whose name I don't know but I could happily have throttled him yesterday when he wouldn't stop shouting 'Mummmmmm, mummmmm, mummmmmm'
If there's a Mumsnetter who recognises this as her family - do feel free to let your neighbours enjoy their gardens quietly sometimes.

I haven’t got noisy neighbours as such, live down a farm loaning with no one around except the house next door whose outside dog barks at the dog a end of the road and then barks for hours in the middle of the night, unfortunately the man is deaf so doesn’t hear it. Then there is the wood burning stove thing he has in his kitchen which backs into my back garden so I need to be careful about when I hang my washing out as it absolutely reeks and also comes into our house, you would think this glorious weather and the summer months would give me a break
From this but alas it can it be 30 degrees out and he still has it on

In my last house I had neighbours with 4 small boys who apparently couldn't be outside without constantly screaming, fighting, crying and generally making a racket. They had the climbing frame right next to our fence, kicked footballs at the fence constantly, they were horrible. No consideration whatsoever, despite being heavily involved in a local evangelical church and being ostentatious do gooders. Now I live in a village with no child neighbours. Except this morning next door jet washed his patio for 2 HOURS, then next door but one put on full blast trance music, then next door decided to mow his huge lawn at the same time as the loud music! It's gone quiet now but the sun's gone in!

Does anyone want to pool their resources and go live in a field with me? Or a forest or something?

We have lovely, decent neighbors from one side.
The neighbors from the opposite side are very decent and their children are very well behaved, however they have huge trampoline and all of the neighbours kids tend to play there and climbing on the fence and shouting at us and watching us, this is every summer.
You can't basically do anything without eye supervision.😬
