Neighbour’s kids house party in garden next door

It's nearly midnight, his parents are away and they are all, maybe 15 - 20 of them, singing extremely loud in the garden. I have a 3 month old and can't sleep. Tried texting him to ask him to tone it down but no response. WWYD ? They don't normally have form for this but also didn't tell us he was hosting a party.

Go around there? Or get DH to? Ask them to turn it down.

SteamedPotatoes · 17/08/2019 23:42

Hubby is a coward. Looks like I'll need to.

Knock on the door and tell them to quiet down or call the parents

PancakeAndKeith · 17/08/2019 23:42

Does your local environmental health have a 24 hour number?
I’m guessing you can’t go and knock because you can’t leave the baby.

Oh and be prepared for loads of people to tell you it’s fine, it’s only a one off and it’s A-Level results week. You will also be told you are being a misery.

Good luck.

Phone the police.

Ellmau · 17/08/2019 23:43

The parents may not know it's happening.

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 17/08/2019 23:46

Police wont get involved.

Its a council issue , and it's Saturday. Have you seen the news this week to understand what pressures our police are dealing with .

alibongo5 · 17/08/2019 23:47

Bloody hell there was less than a minute between your original post and your "anyone". YABU.

NewNewNewNew · 17/08/2019 23:48

Police will get involved.
When my neighbours took the piss I rang the police as I had to go to work the next day, they came out and told the neighbours to shut their shit music off.

Police (saying you think there’s underagers drinking alcohol and making too much noise) or council environmental noise emergency line. Ours is manned 24/7. They come out right away.

SteamedPotatoes · 17/08/2019 23:53

After husband saying "aw just let them party" I went round myself, the host is apparently pissed and his best friend has promised me they will turn it down.

NewNewNewNew · 17/08/2019 23:53

It was definitely police. Not 999 but 100. Told them the issue and cop car came around.

WorraLiberty · 17/08/2019 23:53

Why should the police be bothered to attend if the OP or her DH haven't bothered to knock and ask them to keep it down? Confused

OP, if you know the lad well enough to have his phone number, you'll know him well enough to knock and have a polite word.

As for your husband...there are no words Hmm

Sparklesocks · 17/08/2019 23:54

Your council might have an out of hours anti social noise line if it continues

Why would the OP lie about underage drinkers? Confused

NewNewNewNew · 17/08/2019 23:55

Police etc know some neighbours are dicks and not worth the confrontation.
Decent neighbours wouldn't do things like loud music late at night anyway.

SteamedPotatoes · 17/08/2019 23:55

I think they are more like early twenties.

Quiet lasted 5 minutes and now the girls are singing senorita really loudly - I need my sleep !!!

Stonerosie67 · 18/08/2019 00:15

If it's a one off then yes it's annoying but I think you are going to have to put up with it. Its not like it happens every weekend, they're probably celebrating A level results.

FannyGall0ps · 18/08/2019 00:15

Dear god, it’s Saturday night!!

You’ve said they don’t usually do this, so how about you just suck it up this once. I’m sure your baby has woken them up more than once.

MiniMum97 · 18/08/2019 00:18

It's Saturday night. As a one off it's acceptable.

SteamedPotatoes · 18/08/2019 00:20

Husband just redeemed himself and went round and musics off now. As a one off I'm cool with it, but it's past midnight and they are all in there early twenties and the "host"
Is apparently so drunk he can't speak.

Stop being a fun sponge. It's a one off, leave them be. One of our neighbours once got the weird environmental health team out to us and all it did was fuel us to annoy them more. We've since moved, new neighbours and lovely and we have respect for them as a result

Stonerosie67 · 18/08/2019 00:24

Well you're obviously not 'cool' with it, you've been moaning on here for nearly an hour and been round twice.
