Noisy and offensive (neighbours)

[bagpuss]

I have neighbours 2 houses away where there is a shed that is clearly accommodation for the boy who lives in the house.

They have gatherings most weekends that involve shouting, swearing and loud music. Normally go on till 1 or 2.

It?s the language that really upsets me as I have a 3 year old! It started at 5 tonight!

What should I do? Don?t want to put up with this all summer

Advice?

Thought about pppping round to talk to the ?parents?

But last year a brick was thrown through their window so not sure I want to make enemies

how old would you say the boy is? I presume late teens? Have you met your neighbours before?

Inform southwark noise team and tell them underage parties un supervised

Good idea to start by trying to have a reasonable conversation with the parents as they're the householders and will be the ones who cop it if things escalate.

It may be that they already realise his behaviour is antisocial. The fact that they'ved moved him down the garden suggests they might prefer not having him in the house. Plus as it's going on in their garden they'll know that you're telling the truth. Having ammunition from you may help them deal with the situation.

If it is a rented property inform the landlord. I had a few issues last summer and me and three other neighbours complained every time there was an issue (I won?t go into details but some of it was pretty awful, we had approached them directly, but they were vocally aggressive). They are still renting the property but are now reasonable.

There is a family near me whose behaviour often makes it impossible to sit in the garden as the language and threats of violence are appalling. It?s horrible to have neighbours like that..
