Is it worth moving over tension with neighbours?

[uneighbourly]

I live in a HA property (first time) to be honest I just want to move for various reasons.

I feel as if I am forced to engage with my next door neighbour, every time I see her she will just talk and talk for ages.
She is the neighbourhood gossip and I just want to be left in peace without her intrusive questions all the time.

We feel as if we have no privacy as she watches our comings and going along side who visits and how often.

I am very friendly with a neighbour down the road who suggested I join the street WhatsApp group chat and she text me the Group admin and he advised me that due to the tension with 2 of my neighbours on my street he wasn’t allowing me to join.

The 2 women he is referring too are women who would kids constantly trespass onto my drive and literally walk straight past my living room window and their kids would do it too.
Multiple times every day

In the end I got low fencing and they overheard me talking to DH about finally getting some privacy and since then they haven’t spoken to me (still say hello to DH though).

I have only ever said “hello” to these women so I don’t know why they have been telling other neighbours that.

I am really annoyed and just want to move.

AIBU to feel like this?

I wouldn't move.

Tbh, it doesn't sound bad. One neighbour trying to make conversation and watching the comings and goings of the street is fine.

Sounds like you've annoyed the other neighbour by talking too loudly to your DH about her kids.

Things could be far worse wherever you move.

YANBU to feel like that. You could talk to your HA about neighbour conflict resolution, or you could put in for an exchange; but in your shoes I'd give it some time to see if it blows over before doing anything.
Check the rules for your HA, some expect you to declare any neighbour problems if you exchange. If you've made a complaint you'd have to declare it, that includes if you complained about them trespassing and that's why your LL put up the fence.
Is she also a HA or council tenant? If she is, keep an incident diary.

Its possible you might move and end up with worse neighbours, not everyone who puts in for an exchange is honest about their reason for moving.

It sounds pretty minor to me. I wouldn’t move.

I mean it would annoy me that someone seems to be not allowing you to join something and therefore putting the blame on you for something that's happened, but what you've said on this thread doesn't seem like a reason to move on its own.

But obviously that's up to you

Don't be on any chats. Invest in some headphones, smile and wave and keep walking if you see GN..

I did contact the HA about the daily trespassing and they advised me that it was our responsibility to tell them to get off.

We tried having a friendly word but to no avail so we put the fence up.

At one stage the kids were riding there e scooters on it as well.

The friendly neighbour advised me that they are 40 people on it already, and I feel kind of left out considering all my other neighbours are on it.

With my next door neighbour, I get the impression that because we have babies similar age that we should become friends etc and I don’t mean to be nasty but she isnt my cup of tea, I just find her to nosy.

I shall invest in headphones and see it that deter’s her lol.
