Weve not lived in our current house for too long. Neighbours have always seemed nice enough, introduced themselves and keep to themselves mostly. They have 3 dogs from what we've seen, who bark for hours on end when left alone. I keep debating mentioning it to them (not in a big complaint kind of way, they may be completely unaware as they're out when they bark) but chicken out because I hate confrontation. It can be all day, frequently it's for hours Friday evenings as they seem to go out (until quite late)
We have also periodically smelled weed (not a huge deal, people can do what they want, and couldn't tell which way it was coming from) but were now sure it's the same neighbours, and it's multiple times a day almost every single day. This is our first summer here so I think now that we've got windows open, hanging washing out, playing in the garden...it's more noticeable.
The man next door smokes in the garden so the smell then comes directly over to us, I'm worried my washing will smell, and we also have a baby and a toddler whose bedrooms back onto the garden, so I'm having to frequently shut their windows to stop their rooms smelling. Obviously with it being hot this week, that's been less than ideal. I don't have a huge issue with it being a 'drug' just the smell and the frequency. If we go out and the windows are open, we can smell it in the house when we get in. I dread to think of my kids clothes smelling of weed 😬
I could write them a note maybe? But then I'd be worried they'll be knocking on the door to moan at me 😂 is reporting them really out of order? The police won't do anything surely, they have kids but I don't want to involve anyone like social services (would they care anyway) it's housing association so could go down that route. I really like where we live and have spent lots doing up our house, I just don't want this to ruin how happy we thought we'd be here 😭
