Have had enough !!!!

[Libra Gran]

I think I mentioned my neighbour before and the fact she has linked up with a guy she knew years ago, they reconnected via FB. He moved in last year and it was evident from the start he was a drinker, we had occasion to speak to him a few times last year about his loud music which he puts on and then with their back and conservatory doors wide open he then sits at the top of their garden so we all have to share the noise. Things sadly have deteriorated this year, twice this week he has been in his dressing gown at 2pm and had some cronies around drinking in the garden, today I couldn't have my patio doors open because of the noise. Afraid to say I saw red and yelled over the fence to turn the b****y music off or close the door, he staggered down the path saying whats it got to do with the dog, stupid man I hadn't mentioned the dog duh as if Shilohs bothered. She is out working all day and he doesn't work, but keeps his cider levels topped up throughout the day. I know as she kind of indicated he "liked" a drink, well don't we all but I don't annoy my neighbours with loud music and all sorts of low lifes drifting in my home. We have decided to go around tomorrow and speak to both of them she will take his side no doubt. She is a heavy drinker evenings and weekends if she isn't working, don't hold out much hope of reaching an amicable agreement. God forbid she is marrying this sot in 4 weeks, but then if she doesn't mind slogging her heart out while he gets in a stupor everyday that's her choice. This has always been a very quiet road where we try to be considerate of our neighbours almost all retired, if we do have a family get together we always inform our neighbours either side of our plans. I consider that plain good manners. Weekends they both get legless in their garden and thats their perogative as she doesn't have the music blaring, hating the fact my little haven is being spoiled by this moron. Oh and their not younsters, both mid 50's. I just want my quiet life back.

Oh Libra, I feel for you!
I have been very lucky in only encountering unpleasant neighbours once. This was in my previous home. We were in the middle of a terrace of 6, with gardens at the back. These people moved in 2 doors down. It was at that time a rented property and some real scum bags moved in. The rest of us (it was a friendly quiet row of houses) couldn't go into our gardens that summer, due to the extremely loud music and bad language of these people, who always seemed to be about. We all felt rather intimidated. They also left their dog outside for hours. By the end of that summer they had gone, thank goodness.
It is so unfair that unreasonable people spoil the peace and enjoyment of others.

Can you get some help from Environmental Health as this is noise pollution? Just googled it and came up with the following:

Trouble is they might just get physically aggressive if they know you are gathering evidence like this!!

Oh I know only too well this problem , why do people as soon as the sun comes out think we all need to hear there blaring music , hope you can get through to them Gem(oops Libra I mean 😊) but by the sounds of it you won't , but good luck flower xxx

[Gemini]

It's not me, Oma, it's Libra

[Qwerty]

Poor you it must be so annoying and frustrating, if any of them swore within my g/c ears I would lose it with him , it's such a shame after a lovely happy home to have this, I think She's idea is a good one, what will happen if the house goes up for sale and you have viewers that would be a nightmare and somewhere it is on the cards sympathy winging your way

[Daisy]

LG - I really don't envy you having to try and reason with this totally selfish moron. Good luck with your chat with them tomorrow. xx

[Plantaholic]

Good luck with the chat with noisy neighbours Libra, they sound very unreasonable, I suppose it is the drink

[Mimi]

Libra it's descusting that you should have to put up with that sort of behaviour but I would imagine that trying to reason with some one who , being a moron by default setting when they are sober hard enough but trying to get them to see sense when they are completely off their heads it must be impossible.
I hope you get some positive result when you go round there tomorrow. Perhaps she will see sense and realise that his drinking is out of hand , she may be able to persuade the ' moron ' to stay indoors when he drinks himself leg less and to turn the music down low.

Good luck with the chat Libra. Hope the neighbour listens to what you say. Fortunately we have always had good neighbours.

The house next door to us, still belongs to the local council,and when we were getting new neighbours, we did worry a bit,as to who would get it.

Pleased to say,they are ok.

[Sum1Ls]

Does she own it or is she a tenant? If she's a tenant then you could complain to the tenancy officer or the landlord.
It's a horrible situation, I do hope you can resolve it.

I know just how distressing this kind of thing is LG. We are only renting at the moment and the cul de sac is full of lovely friendly helpful neighbours, EXCEPT the house next to us which has a barking dog (not the dog's fault) and parties through the night in the summer . Well, OK, only about 3 or 4 BBQ parties, but noisy enough for all that. Then there are the rows he chases her up the stairs, she throws stuff at him, they run down to the end of the garden screaming at each other (at least they have done twice and it was quite funny in its own disturbing way)!!! The woman has a daughter of 13, who doesn't get on with her stepfather so there are shouting matches there too. But there is a problem wherever you live the house may be wonderful then you can get tuck with horrible neighbours, and it spoils everything. Good luck X

Hope your discussion went well LG, there is nothing worse than "noisy" neighbours, our neighbours are friendly and i grew up with her for years so she is a close friend, but he likes a drink and has been known to come into the garden about 10pm and kick a ball around and off our fence as if its a goal post he has sons there now 15 and 16 but they all join in, when he first done it i nearly pooped my pants but now im used to it, it doesn't last long but i do think have a bit of respect, im looking out into our garden and there are 2 footballs from next door, i wont be in a hurry to throw them back....xx

How did you get on Libra? Hope things have improved for you.☺

[Libra Gran]

Nana we haven't managed to get them together as yet,she works every other weekend and the one between they went away -bliss- but thus far it has been quitter on the music front,still gets put on but not so it stops me having my patio doors open with this hot weather. We are just going to monitor the situation and live in hope he has grown some brains.
