A house across the road and up one renovated and had shrubs removed from their front garden. We've noticed 2 lights which are on from dusk till dawn which shine into our spare bedroom. They look like regular outdoor lights, but are so incredibly bright and akin to the brightness of lights on a sports field.I don't know if they are new or previously obscured by their shrubs.
Our next door neighbour, who directly faces this house, asked if they could turn the lights off at night or put them on a sensor, but the husband told her to F off and slammed the door. We recently had guests and despite the black out curtains, the room as illuminated all night by their lights.
We've previously swapped Christmas cards with the house in question and although we rarely talk, had no issues at all. DH went around to ask about the lights and the wife told him to go away, before the husband came up behind and slammed the door. If relevant, they are late 70's and our direct neighbour is mid 80's.
DH thinks if I go around, I might get further. Personally, I doubt it will make a difference and want to put a complaint into the council. What would you do?
