Clearly not going to say much about the situation and that it is far enough away that those involved will not see the thread. Vextatious complaints. Harassment. Nasty.


If anyone can offer some free professional advice, or from their own expeience, please PM me.


Before the clever comments start this does not directly involve me, but has some knock in effects and from my perspective is bullying.


I have a good friend who is a senior police officer who has been helpful (sadly this situation is not that uncommon) but of course cannot get involved.

Bad neighbors are a pain, but as you know 'quantifying' the situation in order to get a result is very hard and wearing


I had this about 15 years ago, thankfully it only lasted 6 months and that was bad enough


However, the only way we found peace was to bring the situation to a head, forcing the issue and then resolving it collectively. It wasn't easy, but it couldn't be ignored


It has the potential to drive people to desperate measures. I used to fantasise about drilling a hole in our wall and randomly firing a gun through it or hiring a team of thugs to smash the place up


Thankfully the real world stepped in


Good luck

Thanks and I will post updates if I think this is of value.


My first house was ex-council in Abingdon. It was considered to be a rough area, but generally we were happy.


Then the neighbours went to work in Saudi leaving their late teenage kids behind and it became a nightmare. At the time there was a trend amongst this age for small motorbikes and the (what I call pyscobilly) look. Friday night was like being in Croydon or Bromley with gangs of youths walking about after the pubs shut looking for trouble. We even had a party which was crashed ending up in bottles being thrown and worse being used as hand held weapons.


This was all beyond myself and friends, but the police seemed to suggest it was a normal Saturday night.


You can imagine the relief when the 'for sale' sign went up. Perhaps the 'dispute' I am speaking about will only end when one party moves on.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
