To put a note through my neighbours door?

My neighbours smoke weed and always have done. In the summer it smelt worse because of the heat and they'd smoke it in the garden all day. Didn't say anything just thought they can do what they like. But in the past few months I've started to smell it inside, like really strongly. Don't know if they're growing it or smoking indoors or whatever. But the smell is drifting into my back bedroom where my daughter sleeps. I'm absolutely pissed off.

They aren't approachable, we've lived here for years and have always tried to get on with them and be pleasant but Never had a single smile or hello from them. They just ignore us which is fine but obviously makes it very awkward to approach things like this.

When we brought our first baby home he put a note through our door telling us that our baby crying was too loud and that he couldn't sleep. DD slept full nights from the age of 4 weeks and honestly didn't cry in the night.. I ignored it as didn't want an argument but I knew from this moment he was quite an unreasonable man.

Anyway, would It be unreasonable for me to post a note through their door asking them to stop smoking weed in the house? I don't even know if he'll listen. Is there anything else I can do. The smell is knocking me sick and I feel so bad and worried that DD has to sleep in it.

Sorry to take over your thread but I had over 6 months of hell and feel your pain.

Since they are not approachable, I would send them a note and would also contact your Local council Environmental health officers .

It definitely is ASB and police do take action you just have to keep on at them. Also get any other neighbours (flat or house) to report. Our police has a special ASB form if not you can use the non emergency number/report on line. I have experience of this and they do take action but it may take a while.

Weed smells are categorically not ASB.

Weed smells are categorically not ASB.

Weed smells consistent and overpowering and preventing enjoyment of your own home absolutely are.

They are arseholes tbh 😭 I don't think he police will be interested. Feel like just sending DH round but just know the neighbour will start an argument. So unfair. It smells fucking awful

I'm in a simlar situation. My neighbours smoke really strong weed in their garden. It's awful in the summer . What really pisses me of is they probably smoke it outside because they don't want it in their own house. I think your right police won't care . It's almost pretty much accepted now

It’s antisocial and selfish. The police aren’t interested and they know this. Fuck me, they would have to arrest everyone in South London.

Definitely ring the police.

I'm on the brink of doing so about a neighbour 2 doors away. Stinks constantly so he's no doubt a grower? Makes me gag.

If the police aren't interested maybe the community protection officers can take it on?

Do you know who your PCSO is OP? Its sometimes on local leaflets or on a neighborhood facebook group? They are normally really good and can suggest what would be best to do?

Sounds like neighbours I know. I went round couple of times (it was their so being a dopehead) - didn't make much change but the day he moved out, we did a little dance. You have my sympathy.
