I love gardening, but I accept that everyone likes different things, and in our terrace of house we have one house (a mum with her adult son in his 30's) who use their garden all summer like their living room. Of course that's fine, it's their garden, except they play radio 1 all day long, often at a volume the rest of us can hear inside our homes with our windows closed. The son also smokes a lot of skunk, and doesn't appear to work, so occupies the garden from 7am, to well, late at night. He seems to also have young children who occasionally visit, on one occasion my partner had to clean the street of used nappies, because they failed to use a bag that the local foxes wouldn't destroy and had just had a bbq so lots of meat bones too. They have built rain shelters so that he can still sit and smoke in bad weather. It has improved from a couple of years ago though when they used to get drunk together and shout expletives at each other from about 7pm to 1am. The Mum owns the house (from what I've reluctantly had to over hear), but had rented it out when I moved here ten years ago, only to return just before Covid. The renters were fine, nice people. I have over heard the son tell his Mum that men are not interested in her, just in her house, and that she had taught him how to ignore other people! I have recently spent a lot of money on putting up a fence in the hope that it will dampen the sound a bit...and am planting lots of hedging also for the same reason. We live on a hill so they often perch at the top of their garden where it's sunnier, looking down at everyone else's gardens and houses... I know they irritate other neighbours, but the general opinion is that things could get worse if we asked them to turn the music down etc. Any tips? I hate being bullied/selfish people, and want to enjoy my garden too (without intruding on other people in the process!)
