Report online - anyone done it?

[chocolatesaltyballs22]

Is there any point, and do you get a response if you report someone online for not following the social distancing rules?

Am losing the plot with several of my neighbours who are treating this like one massive bank holiday and are all letting their kids play out in the street, mingling with other families. STAY IN YOUR GARDENS - IT'S NOT DIFFICULT!

Live and let die...

Yeah I happily would except I can't actually use my own garden for the noise of kids screaming at each other which has literally been going on all afternoon.

I had to report our tenant as neighbours of hers had contacted us to say she was having garden parties with different people coming and going, loud music, kids on trampoline till 11pm. Filled out the online form as she wouldn’t answer any text or calls to her. I e heard nothing from the police, just got a generic email back when I’d filled out online form.

Hmmm it does make me think they're doing naff all with the info, don't suppose they've got time to follow up on everything.

This was last week so I don’t think I will hear anything back from them. I think she will be at it again if the weather is nice.

Tempted, my neighbours have been having family round every time the weather is good, which has been most days. But they would know it was me so not going to make enemies for myself!

My neighbor's are doing the same. Its so frustrating. To see them having their family gathering out the front drinks in hand. Kids playing like its a normal day This is every weekend. Its like they are above the rules that have been set out. 😡 I shouldn't let it get to me but i have a child who is vulnerable I would love nothing more than to see my Mum and Dad who work for the NHS but can't but these selfish idiots don't care! x

I’ve lived at my new house for 3 months now so I haven’t had much chance to get to know anyone. This lockdown has been a godsend in terms of exposing what my neighbours are really like. 5 out of 10 houses (including my own house in that 10) have been regularly flouting the ‘rules’.

The worst of all being my immediate next door neighbours. Late 30s couple with 2 kids under 10. It started with having multiple different groups of visitors every single day. They socially distanced at first but slowly got more ballsy and now they have so many people in and out of the house constantly. BBQs, getting audibly wasted during the day etc. They’re also so loud, are in the garden jeering 24/ it seems, and their children are so disrespectful of our property. I should have seen the red flags on move in day when the wife said ‘oh I’m glad it’s someone with kids as we’re so loud, I shout at them a lot’. She wasn’t wrong. I revel in the fact I’ll be getting my own back with a screaming baby in just over a week. No one can sit and enjoy a cans in the sun whilst there’s an unsettled, colicky baby in the garden next to you

Other neighbours have been going in each others homes and vulnerable elderly have been mixing with young children in the street. The police probably won’t do anything and I know I’ve just got to suck it up! But at least I know who the selfish ones are

PumpkinP , how would they know it was you who reported them, i would think they could only be sure if you dont have any other neighbours / houses near you

I definitely think that after 4 seeks people are getting very blasé and following the rules less. I never wanted a stricter lockdown but it feels like there are so many people who just don't give a fuck.

4 weeks

It’s only me and them that use our gardens (never hear anyone else out) so I feel it will be obvious, maybe it won’t but I’m not taking the risk, I’ve fallen out with a neighbour before and people can really make your life hell.

Yes myself and several other people reported our neighbours over Easter weekend as they had family visiting from 350 miles away.
The police came and sent them packing.

Sure they can. I can easily tune out other peoples' babies and kids, they're not mine, not my problem and so I can just tune it out. You might also find they start blasting music to drown out the baby if they are bothered.

peppermintcapsules No evidence of a speaker so far they use their phones for music which isn’t very loud in comparison to a sound system. They’d be hypocritical to complain about a newborn baby crying with the level of noise they’re currently making. The gardens are quite tight and close quarters so I’ll still revel in my sweet revenge

It’s also not about noise. It’s about flouting the rules and making life hell for those around them that can’t escape it. They won’t be able to get away from my baby communicating in the only way she possibly can and the way that is natural. It’s going to feel great!

DH and I haven’t seen DD3yo since the lockdown began as DH is a key care worker working double shifts and I’ve been busy WFH full time as I’m not entitled to maternity pay (self employment). Then we have to live next to idiots like that who continue to throw parties and get day drunk whilst caring for their small children. I can imagine their drunken smiles will soon fade when we bring baby home in a week and they realise we won’t be silent anymore! Right now it’s like we’re living next to a pub garden with the amount of visitors they have and how loud they’re being. It’s like the pubs never closed🤣

OP, if it’s really getting to you and it’s getting out of hand then do report online.

I’m not doing it personally as there has been a hideously high increase in crime/theft in our town so people throwing parties and being heavily intoxicated around small children will be the bottom of their list I imagine!
