Hi,

So for some time I lived alone as a single mum prior to my partner moving in. The male neighbour would come out and watch me in the garden to the point I would ask my son to come and stand with me. This made me feel very nervy. This may of been entirely innocent but still made me feel uneasy. At the same time they asked for me to remove some trees which were removed. But they did not put a fence up so I made a wicker type one with trees I had cut down. The trees acted as a shield for either of us to be able to see the others garden. So could see straight in to theirs and vice versa.

So closer to my house a fence has blown down and it’s their fence. The previous owners put up two panels right by my back door. Which is one of the ones that has blown down. Neighbour male tried to say we broke it, we didn’t the wind did. Needless to say we had a heated debate about how I will not be replacing it.

Well now the staring and watching us has begun again not just to me but my partner also.
Is there anyway I can make them put a fence up as I have had to replace fence panels on my side every year and can’t afford to pay for this side too.

Any suggestions would be great.

Regards,

Louise

Could you get some cameras put up for added security - cameras never lie.
He sounds like a right creep and I most certainly would want added protection.
You should have never agreed to the tress being cut down, trimmed back yes.

Can you move?

Is there a landlord you can complain to?

Can you shout 'quit nosing you pervy weirdo!'

Any of the above might work.

Hi,

I own my home with my ex husband. If I could move I would love too. I loved my home till they moved in. I agree in hindsight keeping the trees would of been best x

I’d be tempted to move before it escalates if it were me. They sound seriously weird.

They are trying to stare you into replacing their fence! Creeps.

Can you yooohooo and wave every time "oooeeeee me neighbour see you're looking over again! Anything I can help you with"?

If you can get a loan, do that and get the cameras. Make sure that you have enough storage space for recordings and save the most important just in case.
Make sure that they are HD ones, cheapness does not pay.
I have cameras in the front and rear of my house. I can see who comes and who goes.
I also have an intercom that anyone who rings my bell, I can answer without opening the door. H puts that in place for my security and it have paid dividends.
We changed our cameras out last year to HD. I could not live without them.

You are welcome.
Just be careful and if he starts to initiate an argument, just go indoors and lock the doors.
People are frigging crazy these days and they seem to want to do anything to cause trouble.
Just be aware that when you put the cameras up, this may make things worse or better. But your safety is what is important here.
