Reporting Neighbours: Anyone done it?

[ElizabethMainwaring]

As above. What for? What happened?
Thank you.

No. How would anyone know that their neighbours are contravening any rules anyway? You don't know reasons why they might be out and about. You don't know if they are providing care to others or buying and delivering food to the vulnerable.

One of my friends was reported to the police for letting her child out to play in the street on his scooter.

A police car came with a police officer in full uniform and asked her if she had allowed her child out to play in the street.

As this is not illegal, she made a formal complaint and has received an apology from the police.

My neighbours have had their kids and grandkids round. I didn't report them.

@Sleepyblueocean
Same here. And other extended family members. Loads of kids yesterday. Family coming and going. Cars in and out.

No if I saw groups of people I'd report . But not as some people are calling round to drop things off but not actually seeing them . For example Easter eggs and leaving them on the door then walking away then maybe waving from the road .
All sorts of reasons really why someone would drop things off also if ill .

Quisling.

My neighbours had people in and out constantly over the weekend she has the police at her door more than hot dinners anyway so no point. Nothing would change.

Good God.

My new neighbour has people around but I am wondering, due to behaviour and noise, if they are actually Carers .
To be fair she is a lot quieter at the moment but I do wonder how she would be if her visitors did not visit .

I have no plan to report her at all .

People are really itching to arent they. Me, DH and DD were playing around in the garden yesterday and I could see a neighbour straining from behind a bedroom curtain to see who was there

@Kingkuta

I would wave next time

I will be today but for a different reason.
I live in a shared house. There are four of us.
3 of us are still working .
I neighbour opposite yesterday set up a camera in his window aimed right at our house.
I went over there & asked him what on earth he was thinking.
He said he’d had parcels go missing & wanted to find out if they were being stolen or not delivered.
He showed me the live stream - not a single inch of his property to be seen and just our front door. I’m absolutely seething

There are certainly curtain twitchers in my area,I got threatened with the police yesterday
I posted about it on another thread but it was on the Next Door app, someone had posted that if her neighbours had a barbecue she would jump the fences and put it out. Another popped up saying she would definitely be reporting people for their barbecue and had already informed on two people she knew in her street for as she saw it, breaking lockdown rules.
I was quick to politely point out to both that
a) barbecues are fine so long as only the people in that household are partaking and if she jumped fences she was more likely to face prosecution herself because Social Distancing
And b) if you are going to rat on people, its best not to brag of doing so on a public website where your location is visible as not everyone will be best pleased

Grassing woman took this as me threatening her then told me I was "scum" for having a barbecue. Glad to say no police turned up and she got her arse handed to her by others whilst I sat enjoying my sunshine and barbecue eating a particularly nice chargrilled chicken

Would I rat on neighbors? No because they may be Keyworkers.
Would I report huge groups of young People in our local park, probably yes.

I got the evil eye from my parents neighbour when I waved in their window during my exercise😂. I was still on my bike I stopped, rang them waved, they waved, we spoke for a few short minutes then I cycled on. They stayed inside the whole time.

I don’t see that this breaks any rules, and the social distancing was observed, with probably about 4m plus a window Between us.

Don’t think we actually got reported.
