You know what? i don't care if it will help anymore, when a dog is barking at 10.30 at night and all you want to do is sleep its an awful feeling.

I've rang:
the council environmental issues department
the RSPCA twice
the police

the land registry won't say if its registered or not it keeps telling me there is an error

i am at the end of temper, i'm a secondary school teacher so i'm very good at keeping my cool, it is now getting out of hand, my nerves are shredded and i just want to cry when i hear them go out because i know whats going to happen for the next couple of hours.

The site is only working during office hours.

Has your council got an out of hours number for environmental health? Ours has - when I've had problems in the past at the weekend (noisy neighbours, parties till 4am - that sort of thing) I've phoned and they've come out - and visitited the neighbours in question and got the noise stopped immediately. For a longer term nuisance like yours, I'd fill out a log (ours sent us a template to fill in) for a few weeks or days, and send it back so they can see how much/often the disturbance is affecting you.
I do sympathise - it's horrible to have your sleep disrupted.

If they don't send you a log you can make a diary yourself and list:
1. The date of the noise disturbance
2. The time it started
3. The time it ended
4. What sort of noise it was and where it comes from
5. The affects it had on you
Just keep the information factual and keep it for 3 weeks.

Then you should send a copy of this to the local environmental health department with a complaint letter. They have to acknowledge receiving your letter within 10 working days.

Also send a copy of the letter to the management company of the flats stating you have sent this to the environmental health department. Leasehold properties (which virtually all flats are regardless if they are share of freehold) have a clauses in the lease that you can't cause a nuisance to your neighbours.

I did this over some neighbours that caused a nuisance about 2 years ago, some others neighbours just complained when it happened. By the time I got the log from the environmental health the 2 noisy occupants had got letters from environmental health warning them where complaints and letters from their own landlords telling them that if they continued they would get evicted so the noise stopped.

Hi

I'm sure I've read about a whisle you can blow that is silent to humans but will quieten a dog down. I'm sure I saw it advertised by RSPCA/PDSA as its used as a training aid.

I agree with the OP - write to the council and environmental health to make an official complaint. There will be a clause in most tenancies (not just leasehold) not to cause a nuisance to your neighbour. It could be used as grounds for eviction. Get the name of the landlord from HM Land Registry. This can be done on line or via a postal service.

Hang in there. Keep your cool (easy for me to say I know) and get together with the other affected neighbours and present a united front.

Good luck
