Our neighbour has a long drive running alongside the side of our house. Our bedrooms are on the ground floor. My daughters bedroom window is 5ft away from their thin beech hedge boundary. Over the week they have dug a trench and installed a large metal grid drain to collect water running down their drive from fields and divert it to the direction of their garden. The driveway is long so they can pick up speed. The metal drain cover is horrendously noisy and clunks twice waking my daughter up. A bit like a noisy cattle grid. I have asked politely that they do something to stop the noise as soon as we heard it in our upstairs living room yesterday. They asked if we had double glazing (yes) and I pointed out how close it was from her headboard next to the outside wall (that we can’t change the position of her bed) although they know it is a bedroom already.
Help! Anyone any suggestions? Daughter is in tears as it woke her up with a start this morning.
