From first hand experience I truly do empathise with what you are experiencing. I too had a neighbour who partied with music that reached decibels you wouldn't believe easily drowning out any noise from neighbouring pubs. Dealing with it is difficult. You have a family to consider and need to do the right thing by them and yourself. I honestly don't know how you can go about dealing with these individuals. When my neighbour was seemingly soberer during the day I would speak to him about the level of noise etc. He would make all the responses about keeping it down and do nothing.

You are expected, it would seem, to go through the unbelievable drama of putting up with it and following certain guidelines regarding making a complaint. But the one factor that appears to be overlooked is the TIME involved and the ongoing trauma and stress for you and your family.

If you have been down the usual paths my next thought would be, perhaps, your local MP.

why when u need the help about noisey neibours does the councill and the police not want to help i have 2 small kids going through hell here and no one wants to help

I have had the same problem in the past, I tried the police who told me to contact the local police, who then told me I actually had to contact the environmental authorities. I got through to them and I said there was a party going on somewhere near me which was incredably loud and it was 3am in the morning.

Because I could see where it was coming from, and because I didn't feel like going for a walk in the freezing cold at 3am in the morning, they refusd to come out or do anything about it. Even more infuriatingly, they phoned a month later to ask if the problem was still happening! I explained that it was a month ago, and if it had been stopped it certainly wouldn't be thanks to them. In other words, they were useless!

The frustration here is that many of us from personal experience know how you feel and yet there is a common denominator. Not being able have the problem dealt with in a satisfactory manner from the very places and people that you would expect to find support for that sort of antisocial behaviour.

What is the issue?? Have they more rights than their long suffering victims? It certainly appears so.

yes cos the oldest is 18

also the youngest at 14 can be left on her own ( without the 18 year old being around) but is not able to supervise anyone

so that means the 18 year old can invite loads of mates round everynight throw parties scream shout smoke drugs drink and we have to suffer next door?this is the law? this must be a joke

Neighbours from hell I think is the term...

Neighbour Noise: Help Sheet and what you can do - Part I

At the end of that page is a link to the next page. You might find some useful information here though, there is a time factor embedded in and it doesn't involve an instant fix.

you dont state your location as council matters for enviromental health are dealt with at a local level.
