Whilst the above process is necessary it is also extremely frustrating in the the interim an asbo often just moves the problem for another area to be plagued by the same behaviour. This is how I came to have "Decibels through the roof" neighbours. Their friends who owned the equipment had been a neighbourhood menace in their own area and been given asbos. The equipment was moved next door and the partying carried on. They were shouted at from the street, had polite requests to turn the noise down. As for sleep, I forgot what that was about. It amounted to a couple of hours here and there at all sorts of odd times.
The process required when making a complaint is offputting to say the least. Not only are you becoming tired, frazzled, angry, annoyed, frustrated etc by the inconsiderate behaviour of the neighbours but you are required to document it for a period of time so I daresay many will suffer but certainly not in silence so to speak.
Imagine being an elderly person subjected to this nonsense and being to afraid to take too much action for fear of reprisal? That same feeling could apply to anyone.
