Petition for antisocial neighbours

[Made of berries]

My neighbours are really peeing me off, drinking on the door step, arguing constantly, playing loud music for 3 yrs, complained to the council but still no joy in getting them to stop. A couple of my other neighbours are also very annoyed with this too. Does anybody know how to start a petition to get them removed.

I know this sounds harsh but I'm at my wits end. Thanks

I'm not sure how a petition is going to help?

Have you spoken to Southwark Noise Control about it? If they receive constant complaints from you and your other neighbours, and the noise really is that loud, that would seem the best way forward.

Get hold of someone in SASBU-Southwark anti social behaviour unit and keep a diary

Let's just get this straight - you want to make them homeless? You're happy to jump the whole, "Get them to change their behaviour" phase and go straight for the homeless route.

Well, if you are hell bent on getting them evicted then you will need to find out who owns the property / who is the landlord / managing agent. SASBU can help this.

A petition will achieve nothing. The only way to remove someone through their home is through the court. There are specific grounds for eviction under law. If they are tenants, only if anti-social behaviour breaches a tenancy agreement is there grounds for eviction, and there are specific definitions of what might be classed as anti social behaviour. Keeping a diary for a considerable length of time is part of the process of gathering evidence after you have contacted the landlord and made them aware.

Could be. I read the OP as "drinking on the doorstep AND arguing loudly" but maybe wrong...

When, in years time, they look back at the 2010's decade, I really hope someone notes that, at the time, it was generally considered that there was no problem in the world, big or small, that could not be solved with an online petition.

If you get 10,000 "signatures", you can force parliament to spend precious time discussing weighty subjects such as :

"Stop allowing immigrants into the UK"

"Make cannabis legal"

"Block Donald J Trump from UK entry"

"Don't ban Trump from the United Kingdom"

Maybe someone needs to start a petition to increase the threshold to 50,000,000...

I'm not sure a petition is what you need. If they are council tenants then you need to complain to the council again, with dates, times, details, evidence. And ask your neighbours to do the same. Sorry you are going through this MadeofBerries - anti social neighbours can completely blight an otherwise peaceful existence.

Nyge and I sat on my front wall drinking cans of Stella one hot day.

We told the neighbours we were trying to lower the tone of the neighbourhood :)

They probably thought we'd lowered it enough already :)

If it's a flat and it's community areas, yes.

Being drunk and loud on your own doorstep would too (which I guess is the case).

Just having a drink No.

Drinking Stella at any time - Yes (It makes me crazy :) )
