Report neighbours with grown up children visiting?

[NameChange3667]

My neighbours have both their grown up children plus partners seemingly staying for the easter weekend.
It makes a change that the neighbourhood are not having to put up with their usual excessive drinking, loud music and loud sweary, crude converstions that generally go on every time the sun comes out and they all come round, maybe they think if they are quiet then nobody will notice?
Why do they think the advice about not travelling to see family over the holiday weekend doesn't apply to them?
Would you report them to the police?

@iammoana don't these people listen to the news? They could kill the grandmother 😱

@MargotB7 gosh what an obvious counter to my argument. I don’t think people should be spying on their neighbours so clearly I’m one of those people going to their cousins for a knees up and collecting grandma on the way...

I would report them they need to take this seriously.

I just Googled and this came up, seems like you can report police via online chat (or telephone call obviously). If you can do it to your local police via online chat that's handy and quick perhaps.

I feel uncomfortable about being pissed off at my neighbours, but so many of them are being fucking twats. DH hasn't seen his elderly parents for weeks other than through the window when he drops off food. His mother has breathing difficulties and is rightly terrified of getting CV. My sister has had to have her deeply religious MIL cremated with barely any ceremony at all. I haven't seen my family, including my son, since January.
Meanwhile, my neighbours, who mostly have family living nearby, see no reason why they can't continue to have them round for the afternoon. No distancing being observed. I see adult children wandering round to their parents' houses and back again. They make great play of supporting the NHS, and putting up the right posters, but they think their obligations to society end there.
Yes, it fucks me off. I've changed my mind. I don't feel bad about thinking that way at all.

If they were being quiet I'd be unlikely to notice, but if I did realise what was going on I'd certainly report them for being selfish arseholes.

My poor mum is spending Easter on her own because we hope to have the chance a lot more together in the future. Why can't/won't people understand what's going on?

I'd love to see ds but I know I can't.
Report them op.

*OF a lot more in the future.

FLOUT! Flaunt means something else entirely!

You don't have to be a curtain twitcher to notice people coming and going. I've been it in my garden today and noticed my neighbour across the road welcoming three separate groups of friends into her house ffs. Why are people thinking they are still above the rules?!

The problem is that there's so many of these dickheads that the police can't do a great deal.

@Arnoldthecat
The police have no jurisdiction on this matter within a private dwelling
Yes they do, at the moment the Police do have the jurisdiction to break up gatherings

Why are you so upset about people noticing their neighbours are being dicks? It is everyone's business. They are spreading a virus that will kill other people. Shame the fuckers.

I feel your pain OP and yes report if you wish but the truth is unless it's a major house party, drugs, obviously many people from different households, spilling on to the road etc, so an "easy win" and effective end, the police simply don't have the capacity to deal with it. They are utterly besieged by complaints at the moment, and it's got to be major to even make it on to their list right now. A couple of extra adults is never going to have a cop car at their door unless you're in the Outer Hebrides with nothing else for them to do. Sorry.

Waits for poster who is a copper on Outer Hebrides to give me a telling off you get my gist.

This is so annoying, we've barely left our house in weeks! Missed mother's Day with our families, cancelled my daughter's christening, husband been furloughed so less money coming in, spending Easter weekend at home just us three, no extended family and now Looking at the possibility of spending my daughter's first birthday at home just us three. All these sacrifices conscientious people are making to make sure they're following the rules, and this is going to keep going and going just because a minority of people don't think this applies to them!

But reporting then is up to you, it's the absolute right thing to do, but a dispute with your neighbors can have such a massive impact on your life.

It’s not curtain twitching to report arseholes who believe they are literally immune and the rules don’t apply to them.

That said, my neighbour is said arsehole who has friends and family visiting daily, I reported her once but no idea if anything came of it. Now I don’t care because if she catches CV then quite frankly what did she expect?

So you are not wanting to report them due to the health concern, but as an act of revenge for their raucous behavior over the past. What a great neighbor you are.

I understand your frustration and they sound like really troublesome neighbours but I think reporting them is both a waste of time and could also make your living situation really uncomfortable. Take the moral high ground and ignore them as you're doling the right thing and following the rules. In the nicest possible way the police won't have the time for it and really need to be focussing on serious issues arising from lockdown like the increase in domestic violence.

I’ve stopped getting angry at idiots who don’t follow lockdown rules. I can’t change them. But I can keep out of their way!

My next door neighbours have people coming and going all the time.Various family members and friends in and out of their house
I don't think they understand what social isolation means.
I am missing family and friends terribly.
My DS does my shopping and leaves it on the doorstep and I talk to him while he stands at the gate.Last week he had to come into my house to fix something and I had to go upstairs while he was in
It makes me sick when I see others ignoring the rules.I have a medical condition which could be fatal if I caught this virus.

I dont blame you for being angry shitty neighbours who ruin ur weekend every day... I totally understand that... And i do take revenges when i can

I dont think there is a reporting channel, plz dont call police, they are too busy unless they told you to. Check their website for ur area... If there is a number to report, i think it is time for revenge... But then no more curtain twitching after that

I feel your pain, OP.

My neighbour has also had his grown-up children visiting; and other adults.
He is also a retired policeman. Are retired cops immune to it, do you think?

The police have no jurisdiction on this matter within a private dwelling

Yes they do. Several people received fines today for breaking rules in their homes while my shift was on duty.

I dont know about other forces but our force is following up every report we receive

My neighbours have decided that today was the day they would start having visitors again and reopen their garden shed dog grooming business, chatting close up with customers in their garden all day Obviously they participated in the clapping yesterday.

@Redglitter is it then expected that we can actually report this and expect them to respond? Is that a good use of ur time? Is it taking away from other important things?

Is it taking away from other important things?

You don't think people breaking the rules and potentially spreading the virus is important?
