Black female 34 dance teacher works in school loved in my flat almost a year and a half. May the most disgusting humans moved in bellow me. Drugs music police banging racist singing to song playing Rastafarian music singing n word etc which I know is to annoy me.

aug 29 I shouted shut the f up to ibiza music at 8am and by 8:25 the police came out. After I told them shut up I was called a rat what am I going to do etc - all recorded but nothing from police

today 6pm I’m sweeping my bedroom in silence and was greated to the most horrendous banging to my floor so I record myself sweeping.

I was called the n word a c word told to open the door - all recorded he then called his sister to intimidate me she then showed up while I was on phone to the police

instead of calling back up I called the police
explained all and that sister had been called he’s trying to get in my house and called me a n word I was told they will call me back.

almost 12am on night nothing from police still banging loud music surely this is not right? Tried to post the recording but unsure how? Never called the police before but wow! Cannot believe no call back no nothing

How horrible for you. I am so sorry I cannot advise you but here is what Citizens Advice says:

AliasGrace47 · 24/11/2024 23:58

I'm white- I hope it's ok just to post in solidarity, that sounds incredibly scary. 💐Do you have any family or friends nearby who could come to support you until the police come?

ScrollingLeaves · 25/11/2024 00:24

As well as reporting the noise I wonder if it might help to get advice from the ‘hate crime’ support services in your area.
www.report-it.org.uk/victim_support_in_your_area

I found a link to that here.

Are the other residents council or private?

If council, then report them to the council tomorrow morning. Ask for the "community trigger".

If private, contact their landlord.

Good luck.

I'm really sorry to hear this OP. I've had bad neighbours and it's awful to feel unsafe in your home.

You might find Stop Hate helpful. They can give you advice on what to do.0800 1381625

Shelter can also advise on what steps to take.

I would start a diary of the behaviour and get a video doorbell fitted. Make sure your door is secure. I would stop challenging them incase the abuse escalates. Please keep yourself safe.

I'm not surprised you're in shock. A cup of hot sweet tea might help. You could also contact the council regarding the noise.

We are both council. I only just got a move a year and a half ago resulting in me taking them (council to small claims) this fight went on 10 years they only moved me after I had surgery long story short joining house next door 1 single bed flat she had 28 cats in her flat but used the joining cupboards for them to stay/ next to my bedroom. I breathed in that much cat urine and gas that my nose built a barrier wall leaving me with no smell or taste an I had to have surgery. I get that everyone loves cats but I explained to the council the smell was making me unwell and yeah I had to have emergency move (alone) ovb I didn’t want to take any contaminated items - they (council) offerd me £150
for 10
years of ignored complaints untill I was out of surgery!!
council told them of my complaints and they made my life hell so as you can imagine I just wanted a quiet life not diary’s and having prove myself yet again!

thank you

This is a 6 second screen recording of your recording page, that's it, there's barely any audio, certainty no shouting, banging or racial abuse. You didn't actually post the full recording, you also don't need to.

You need to give the full recording to the police so they can decide if it warrens a hate crime, harassment or any other criminal offence.

Helpme17 · 25/11/2024 01:18

My grammar is shocking must I add I am not a English teacher(luckily 😊) and im
lay on my bed still tense still shaking if I cannot feel comfortable at home where can I?

AliasGrace47 · 25/11/2024 01:19

Helpme, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to suggest you were racist. I said I was white bc this is Black Mumsnetters & so wasn't sure if to post, but I didn't know how many people would be posting late, so I wanted to show support.
That's horrible your council were so u helpful w the severe cat issues before. Sounds like the best option would be hate crime support, as Scrolling said. I really hope you can get the issue sorted so you can feel safe as you have a right to. Stay strong.

Helpme17 · 25/11/2024 01:20

When I go on the page and press play it plays the audio I zoomed in on the recording because the recording had my address I cut it because it said it was large but thank you

Helpme17 · 25/11/2024 01:21

Ahh grace honestly I get what you meant. Ino you wasn’t calling me names, just been a long evening and I’m unsure if I’m coming across well and explaining was kinda just trying to get out as much information as possible. I am going down council route tomorrow as I cannot live like this!

thanks for understanding

AliasGrace47 · 25/11/2024 02:03

That's fine, OP, I totally get it's hard to wrote when you're in this horrendous situation. I read your previous MN thread & it's unbelievable what your neighbours have put you through. The council must do something. You're being really brave.

Helpme17 · 25/11/2024 02:31

How kind, honestly it means alot

are you able to play the redit button?

still fumming and shocked

CottonbudQueen · 25/11/2024 10:07

I'm sorry for this. I have also lived underneath neighbours from hell. You need to write to your local authority, copying in the chief exec and the director of housing and do not give up. Add the crime reference numbers and demand a move elsewhere. This is a hate crime and should be treated as such. Good luck.
