New neighbours moved in about 18 months ago. Their dad (an electrician) put up 2 x security lights that shine directly into the front of our house. Asked them politely to put the shade on so that it directed light downwards which they did for a little while but then late last year the dad took the shade off and now lights are on 24/7.
Causing us to but curtains and blinds for all rooms at the front which include the only living room, main bedroom and second bedroom plus bathrooms. So we can never pull the blinds up as these 2 lights just shine right in our eyes. When people come round they keep asking why we dont open our blinds & when we are having a lie in at a weekend, we have to keep the blinds closed. Any ideas on what I could do - the neighbour's dad is a really nasty guy & the couple are quite ignorant. We dont have any security lights on ours. Any views are helpful. I have looked at going the Council reporting route but just wanted to know others experiences please?
