Noisy Neighbours, Advice Needed
Ok, so about 18 months ago, an irish family moved in next door.

If you've ever seen Snatch, its the same bunch of pikeys, without Brad Pitt, or the caravans.

Now, they have 2, 3, 4, 5, shitloads of kids, in a 2 bedroom house. Their kids are loud, ****ing loud, all night, all day.

My parents are pretty old, mum approaching 60, dad already 60, they cant really cope with the noise anymore. Anyway, the scum next door have been pissing us off for some time, and things came to a head tonight.

There was a breif dispute between my dad, and the husband/boyfriend of pikey palace. Anyway, I ended up getting involved, and punches were within inches of being thrown.

Just wondering if anything can be done legally, before something violent happens.

Re: Noisy Neighbours, Advice Needed
Environmental Health department of local council. Number should be in yellow pages. They can do various things (letters, noise abatement orders, legal action, etc).

Are they council tenants? Private tenants? Owner occupiers?

If the first two then you can also complain to their landlord. If it's the latter (i.e. they own the place) then environmental health is your best bet.

You can try calling the police, but it really is nothing to do with them.

Keep it civil, and keep a written record of everything that happens (times & dates) plus any times you tried telling them to keep it down.

Private Tenants, we had a dispute with the last set of neighbours through this landlord also, a family of 400 Albanians turned the whole house into a giant bedsit.

Re: Noisy Neighbours, Advice Needed
We got an official warning for causing a "statutory noise" for having 6 people talking in our garden at 9pm on a friday night (people only arrived at 8:30, so it's ****ing fast response time!)...but I guess you (r parents) must be at least a little more reasonable than the woman behind us :|

Re: Noisy Neighbours, Advice Needed
I had a similar problem with people next door a couple years ago
if you live in a council house/estate then you can get somewhere

if its a privately owned house i'm aftrad theres next to bugger all you can do as the policedont give a toss, and we awere at teh stage of having our lives threatened and windows smashes as well as countless other types of vandalism.

Try writing to your MP.

If they are catholic then gather your friends and perform an Orange march through their living room (in the front door, out the back).

Re: Noisy Neighbours, Advice Needed
Actually, I dont know, I'm tempted to invite some friends around, who enjoy singing some paticuarly anti-catholic songs which watching the football.

But I thought that might inflame things a bit, and take them down the non legal route.

Re: Noisy Neighbours, Advice Needed
Erm...yeah....good idea.
Piss off a bunch of pikeys. Listen, don't do that. Believe me, worst idea ever.

Plus if try to beat them at their own game and start making loads of noise, they wont get pissed off, they'll just make even MORE noise, then if anything is done about it they can say you were making noise also.

Surely there are legal avenues, isn't there an Anti-Social Behavior order system thingy over there?

Yes. Enormously difficult to obtain though (well, generally).

Local authorities can apply for them but you often need support from more than one agency.

Best place to start though is the environmental health department. If they're slow / useless then complain to the local councillor and then the MP.

A letter to the owner of the property might help things too.

It's hard though as the law is kind of weak in this area. Will also take a long time. If they break the law though (and this includes threats) then report it to the police. But for god's sake keep a diary of all incidents/noise. So many of our (my housing association) noise nusiance cases stall due to lack of diary sheets (as we term them).

You could always challange the guy to a bareknuckle boxing match hosted by a psychotic pig owning gangster. Include the phrase "I ****ing hate pikeys" in a real london accent alot. Sell rights to film company. Move house.

go with dante's ideas, in fact, you should just have PM'ed him in the first place as he is the only one you are going to get real housing advice from around here
