Nightmare neighbours

It's long but I'll cut it as short as possible.

Me partner and kids moved in here 7 months ago. It's through a housing association and at first we loved it.

We noticed there very noisy I mean like constant slamming doors sometimes goes on until 2-3 in the morning I've already had to move my sons bedroom who's 10 months because he wasn't sleeping.

She's got 5 kids and she's a single mum. One of the kids particular is a nightmare he's always outside swearing and smashing glass bottles everywhere he's only 11, his little sister who's 5 she's lovely but often plays out until 11 at night. The other night they boy and some other boys were in there garden setting stuff on fire god knows where there mother was rang police they didn't want to know.

A few months back they were kicking a ball at my car so I asked them to drop they blanked me and did it again so I did scream at them and then got into a argument with there mother who defended them even though I seen it all. Then the next day my windows coincidently got egged.

Earlier on today the 11 year old boy was in the street with a bbq setting fire to it and other things it was right next to our cars so my partner went out to next door knocked her door and said do you know your kids setting things on fire she snapped and said yes I know I'll sort it.

We nipped shopping came home and the windows were egged again coincidence. She doesn't look after her kids very well,

Half the street have complained at various times and tried to get her evicted it went to court but she managed to blag her way out of it, her sons being tested for ADHD.

Why I feel for her going through that, she sits in her bedroom smoking weed all day, her kids run riot,

me and my partner are both working 12 hour shifts and to be honest am sick to death of coming home to this and the noise and the kids everywhere smashing stuff up and setting fire to stuff, there horrible to my kids breaking there stuff my kids(even though are not paying out atm )
Won't play out though fear of them.

And yes her children have been playing out through all of this despite the social distancing she doesn't care.

We're looking to move but it feels so unfair we both work our back sides for our home, it feels so unfair. There is a lot more they've done a lot more than this.

Please any advice I'm desperate

Thanks x

I'm so pleased to read the end of your update, hopefully the eviction will be sooner rather than later.

Thank you all,

I think there's some more serious things going on with her I thinks that's why it's moving faster than the normal. (I think there's drug dealing going on)

If I don't have a date soon and it's not reasonable we will just move, I've made a application to go back onto the housing register and have put on it that we're at risk of violence/abuse but I'm not holding any hope that it will go anywhere.

We don't really want to go private as my last 3 properties have been private and each time the landlord has decided to sell up so we had to keep moving.

Eventually we will be buying our own place, but that won't be for a few years yet.

It just feels so unfair that we may have to leave when we're just trying to live our own life unaffected by anybody else we don't bother anybody else

I just think how it all works is so unfair, innocent people have to endure months to years of abuse before things will happen to change that, the affect it has on your mental health is massively disregarded, I know police and HA can only do so much, it's ultimately down to courts but innocent people are always the ones that end up worse off! It's several of the neighbours also as well as us that it's really affected, she's chucked paint all over one of the houses before, (this was brought up in court as there was CCTV) but she managed to get out of it.

It makes me so angry, she gets to live in a beautiful house not paying a think and just doesn't care it's mad.
