Hostile neighbours

[Bewilderedallthetine]

I am a new member so please go easy on me :) I moved to my new house in May this year. My elderly next door neighbours are forever knocking on my door complaining. The latest bug bear from them are my bins..bin day Wednesdays, I put bin out the front of house at 8.00am, before work and take them in at 5.30 when I get in from work. In the summer it is my clothes drying on the line 8 till 5.30 on nice days..it blocks there veiw they say! We live in a semi detached with small front garden and larger back garden both separated by a fence. I get a grocery shop delivery on a sunday at about 10.30 ish..apparently its too early/noisy!. Anytime me or my son are in the back garden, they complain as we set there dog off barking!..I am so tired of tip- toeing around them its becoming ridiculous! They're old and I suppose are stuck in their ways but its becoming such a big problem for me. They have even had a go at my window cleaner about 'noisily' cleaning the windows.. This is normal every day noise isnt it? I am beginning to doubt myself ( fled from DV to live hear)

You make their dog bark? They need to train their dog not to bark!
When my puppy barked at my neighbour in her garden I told puppy ‘quiet’. Second time took him inside. Neighbour said ‘oh he’s ok’. I said ‘you have the right to be in your garden without being barked at’
puppy now 40kg of muscle and fur who ignores the neighbours.

Everything that everyone else said ⬆️

They want war. Awful people.

Trespass them if they keep knocking. It's harassment and intimidation.

Report the excessive barking to the council so they are reminded to keep it from being a nuisance.

Do not doubt yourself.

Your neighbours are out of order, they are not your employers or your landlords, just carry on living your life and ignore them.

This is an old thread, posted in December 2023.

Poor you.ignore them please.they will make you ill. Laugh at it laugh at them.its HARRASSMENT tho.,PLEASE IGNORE THEM AND GO DANCING ON YOUR LAWN .WATCH their gobs drop.lol.

Log the incidents including dates, times and details of the conversation, then contact the council ( Local Authority ) whose number will be online)) who will warn them to stop harassing you as they are in danger of recieving an ASBO unless they stop.

They are stepping all over your civil liberties and need to back away and give you some space, they are a selfish pair of losers.
