I’ve only just found a thread about this particular topic so I am going to read all of your stories once I get chance but, really need some advice lol!
I’ve been having ongoing abuse mostly verbal, intimidation & harassment from our neighbour that’s been going on since around May 2022 to present, now I believe her and her husbands house is a council house and I tried to contact the council regarding it all however alls I keep getting back is there’s nothing they can do. When on their website they literally have a section for anti social behaviour which covers topics we’ve been having to deal with?
things such as, her husband demanding us to open our door & shouting horrible things to us from outside our home because his wife didn’t like my mum parking outside our own home, we were having the roof done & the roofers were using our drive for their materials. Palettes of Tiles, felt, ladders etc. so obviously my mum was parking below the drive, they both didn’t like this at all. & anytime my mum has parked on our drive, she gets blocked in by her friends visiting her (not like partially blocked in, full on she can’t get out.) The woman at the address stares at me and my mum anytime we go out/come in. Like she’ll just stop dead by her door staring at us instead of bloody turning her key & going in.. she just stands staring at us the entire way as we go in. My mum can’t even take the bloody bin out for bin day without her staring at her with a face like thunder
anytime they hear our patio door open, it’s a slidey type door so you can sort of hear it, the two adults will purposely throw things over. At this particular time my mum was going through a c…..r scare. Seconds after she went out the back to bring washing in, she had a pair of soaking wet shorts thrown at her. Then they were sat laughing about it.
I’ve always had a bad feeling since the pair of them moved in, they’ve got three kids but tbh other than the fact she can’t seem to ‘control them’/say ‘don’t do that’ it’s literally the two adults being absolutely awful. They’re so territorial they think our front yard is there’s, her husband literally walks up and down our drive / path to get to their car & back when they have their own yard & designated footpath.? I’ve seen him 3/4 times hanging over our back fence trying to look into our kitchen/dining area. Nothing had come over from the kids btw! he was just doing this to be intimidating. I presume. Obviously made me feel quite uncomfortable!! I put the kitchen blind down. & he was cracking up saying to his wife omg she absolutely ‘freaked out’, reality, I was about to let our dogs out, spotted him with his entire upper half over the fence looking in I frowned sort of like wtaf?? Then put the blind down & told my mum lol..
During having the roof done, scaffolding up etc. my mum has made his wife aware of this weeks beforehand as it seemed the neighbourly thing to do! About a week or so in to the work being done, I’d gone to go to the bin at the front, shut the bin, as I’m turning around I heard their door open, his wife then come out giving me a sh*t ton of abuse! Shouting ‘WHY CANT YOUR MUM PARK ON THE DRIVE YOUVE GOT A DRIVE’….. just to reiterate, this woman’s car is quite cosy in its parking spot outside her own home too. With a empty space infront of her too. & my mums behind hers, outside our house but just not on the drive (as explained)
again, she got her husband involved for whatever reason. He comes driving round the corner like an idiot revving his car next to my mums parked car, stopped briefly whilst revving then sodded off. Stormed up their path and slammed their gate, muttering stuff, they’re constantly slamming doors ridiculous loud, always arguing threatening to call the police on each other, It sounds like nothing but I honestly feel like I’m heading toward a nervous breakdown.
I was made aware by somebody that her husband had in fact been to jail not too long ago, for doing very similar behaviour to a previous neighbour, (abuse, intimidation / witness intimidation) I found the article & I’ve been on edge with it all ever since. They both make me feel so uncomfortable I can’t explain it.. just feel like no matter what we do, we’re being watched, harassed, anytime my window is open & they notice, things will be shouted. Try to avoid opening my window now because I’m fed up of it, Or if we’ve gone out, there windows shut.. they suddenly open their window upon us arriving back to say things once were going back in. It’s all silly small things but it generally builds up & I feel beyond drained with it all. As I say I’ve tried to go to the council but they don’t want to know! I keep getting the same bloke emailing me back with nothing they can do..
The woman has actually hit my mums car before (not major but scuffed) in august 2022, she had a thing for getting insanely close to my mums car when ‘parking’ when as I say, there’s her car, my mums car & then completely empty street until about a good 5/6 houses down a couple more cars, Her husband parks around the corner but if his wife has said something / made up some false story or they’re just wanting to scare us he’ll do things such as rag his car by our house, shout things, slam things, my mums in her 60s & her health isn’t that grand.. our house is our own not council & we don’t want to move as this has been our home since before I was even born. But all this myther off them it’s wearing us down ALOT. I just feel completely unheard with it all, not to mention she openly encourages her eldest son (5/6)? To do / say things, like banging on our wall from the alleyway (shared alley) & running up & down our path/drive, shaking his arse
she’s always glued to her mobile, she gets out her car and she’s on her phone, she’s obsessed with parking so much so the moment my mum went out & I was in, my mum had only just left our street and she had gone to her car, put her 3 year old on her knee to reverse back to sort of push my mum to park even further down when my mum got back, she does all this bizarre stuff that just seems so childish!! my mum got completely annoyed with everything and decided she was just going to stay parked below the drive now, so since this the neighbour has been parkinf practically up against my mums bumper because she doesn’t like it. There’s even more to this but I feel like I’ve written a lot right now
