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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
