Neighbour problem

I don’t know what to do and hope you will give me some advices - I am getting on with other neighbours pretty well but not my next door who really hate my children who are 7 and 5. He complained that my children are too noisy but it was like normal noise for children. Sometimes my children are in garden playing and they could hear him saying ‘Shut up!’ to them even sometimes when children go to the garden and they could hear him saying ‘oh children are in the garden now!’ That put off my children going in the garden. Now they’ve started to film us to collect ‘evidences’ and sometimes he peep over the fence to watch my children playing and gave them some dirty look. I found it very uncomfortable. I had to look at him back and he walked off back to his house. Other day we used pressure washer on our patio which we do it normally once a year for like 30 minutes as we have small patio, he looked over the fence and gave us some angry look. Today my partner was tidying up the bushes and he saw next door man filming him when he’s doing cutting. He was shocked. We don't understand why he really loathe us that much. I always ensure that children can go to garden between 9am and 6pm but they don’t stay there all the time though. We don’t know what to do. Is he breaching some law to peep over the fence to look at my children? I don’t think he is a pervert but he just wanted to frighten my children luckily my children just ignored him. He also filmed my partner whilst he was doing cuttings? Lockdown didn’t help too as I normally take my children out for the day to avoid having problems with next door. Need your advice thanks

Well being as another poster with awful neighbours has stated she is unable to put her phone/camera above the fence to film her anti social neighbours for evidence (police, council & environmental health are all involved) I would say you need to look into the legalities and, if it is illegal for your neighbour to film you, then you need to report.
What age are they? Not that it matters I’m just assuming they are older if they don’t like hearing children play, I’m pretty sure police would take a dim view of someone filming young children in their own garden anyway.
Put trellis & netting on top of the fence to obscure him peeping over to look at your children maybe? but in your shoes I would be phoning 101 & asking advice.

Id report him for filming children for a start.

I would definitely phone 101 and say all you have said about him filming you and especially your children. Definitely not right no matter how upset he may be. What he is doing is a hundred times worse.
