You and your neighbours

[Rubyred24]

Since lockdown have you formed a better relationship with your neighbours or are you getting along worse than ever? Or has not much changed??

Just being nosey / bored!!!

Mine are terrible, home all the time, in the garden all the time, making a load of noise all the time, shouting constantly at each other, slamming bins and I keep getting their random crap coming into my garden (usually rubbish) and I am desperate for them to go back to work so I can just have one quiet hour in my without having to listen to them. I don't understand how some people just couldn't give 2 tiny shits about anyone else around them. I have spent most of lockdown hiding from them.

Left side - kids scream 24/7, on trampoline constantly, loud music, dad shouts and swears at the kids all the time ...

Right side - hasn’t followed lockdown since March, friends round all day every day, says corona is bullshit, kids scream all day, outside smoking with friends until 12 midnight most nights .

They’re now allowing their kids to freely mix between houses .

Across the road has had police out no less than 20 times, as has two doors down - both for different reasons - neither ever lockdowned, one of them has moved into the car interestingly .

Not seen other neighbours once .

Mine are all generally lovely, however one set of neighbours nearby are driving me and everyone else nuts. the kids scream half the day, the parents scream at the kids, the kids twat each other and I am not sure but I think the parents are twatting the kids as well. It is hideous.

Nothing changed here. Neighbours are cliquey and not very friendly but I'm indifferent to it all now.
The last lot to move in now think they own the road. What does bother me is that they have dogs and never, ever take them out for walks.

Next door neighbours are ok, they've had building work going on but that's finished and we get on quite well really generally. We have had some nice chats which was good at the beginning of lockdown as it was such an isolating experience.

Bloke behind us, not so much. Noisy almost every day and most evenings until after dark, doing some type of diy which he accompanies with his choice of loud music. Then today the building on his extension started. The noise is unbelievable and he has also said he is planning some bonfires. The last one got so out of control that another neighbour ended up calling the fire brigade. We had days of thick plumes of smoke so bad we could smell it even inside with the windows shut (great in summer 😡).

To be honest, what with that and the other issues we have on our estate, I would move tomorrow if I could. The thought of listening to his building works for months on end, especially now I'm working nights again meaning no sleep for me in the day, makes me want to cry.

One side is great, can stand and talk for hours. The other side is nice a little more noisy than normal but the teenage son and all his friends round make everything worse. Slamming doors, loud music playing, mopeds up and down the street, smoking of weed and littering. Oh and the dog is barking loads to on a night.

I had amazing neighbors until last year. But I absolutely despise our new ones. They had a house with two acres of woodland given to them as a wedding present and spent lockdown him with a chainsaw her with a strimmer clearing it of trees. They have had an industrial shredder delivered and whole trees are being mulched. Completely breaks my tree hugging heart. They constantly break lockdown and have held church services in their garden. We reported them to Natural Resources Wales as this was being done during nesting season. They retaliated by calling the Police and said that my DH had threatened them with a firearm! Luckily we have CCTV around our house that proved we hadn’t even set foot in the garden during the time of the alleged incident due to the unbearable noise and the only guns we have are Nerf guns
