Neighbours damaging fencing and trespassing.

I've always said..tenants and owner occupiers should not be mixed.

I also always say,good fences make good neighbours.

Because they are generally awkward neighbours. We are renovating (the entire house!) but we are careful to keep our banging and power tool use between reasonable hours. They feel any noise is too much noise and retalliate with loud music into the night. I didn't mention this before as it wasn't relevent to the garden/fence situaltion, but I suppose it is as you asked

You don't seem to get very far being subtle, so I'd go for the other approach personally.

Could you climb into their garden unannounced to retrieve a chainsaw/hammer/drill you lobbed over?

Make sure fence is well secure and get a big dog that will teach them

Or get a killer bunny as in Monty python

Bang some tintacks through the fence in the area where they kick the ball...

Or train some ninja my little ponys to kill them

What are reasonable hours then?

& what days of the week?

Also having any disputes may lead to when you come to sell have to mention this on the form you get

we looked up hours that are considered reasonable online (that is, reasonable in the eyes of councils, police etc) and found 8-8 all week. However we try to keep to 10-7.

NeverInDebt, sounds like a plan, 1000 ninja plastic ponies would be enough to scare off any narky neighbours! Did you google me, or do I know you?

We do have a side passage, with a gate that isn't locked,

Having an unlocked side gate is never a good idea.

It will be a lockable gate eventually, but at the moment we are channelling as much moolah as possible into the house, this doesn't really have much bearing on our problem though. Plus the camera makes it pretty secure
