Hmm. Belfast City Council were as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike when we asked for help with our noisy neighbours.

Is it possible to..ermm..ask someone else for help?

I would echo previous posters.

Myself having had to deal with noisy neighbours i can sympathise with you and totally know how you feel.

Have had to have EHO out a few times, they were very useful.

Maybe it is the neighbourhood your living in (you said it isn't a great area).

I would ideally like to live some place else, but that is no excuse for your neighbours not to behave like human beings and show some concerns for the impact their actions have on others.

EHO POLICE DSS LANDLORD.

You deserve to be able to enjoy your weekend and summer holidays.

Chin up. Hope you get something sorted.

funnily enough one of the other ones is operating beside High Kirk Presbyterian Church, so at least they're serving all sides of the community....lol...:beer:

Thankfully the first lot (that played loud music) moved out. And then a family with four brats moved in ... all of whom love nothing more than to get up no later than 8.00am at the weekends and throw things at each other (and the walls) until their mother screams at them at the top of her rather large lungs. Then she shouts some more. Then the door slamming starts.

The Council's reaction? They're just kids being kids, we can't do anything!

Damn those kids for being boisterous, what on earth happened to the good old days when they all sat quietly in the corner watching until the clock struck midday at which point they could all start playing.

You really need to deal with this seriously, if all children started getting up early in the morning and playing games where would we end up? Its an invitation to anarchy

(You actually went to the council and complained that next doors young children were being noisy - I bet that gave them a good laugh, have you considered a career on the stage?)

It's easy to tell those whose lives have never been blighted by the inconsideration of their neighbours.

I involved the Council after putting up with being woken at 6am on a regular basis 7 days a week by their kids throwing what sounded like either items of furniture or each other at the walls. Perhaps they were also readying themselves for a career in the army when I had to tolerate the several times a day sound of three of four sets of stomping boot wearing feet thundering from one end of the house to the other. On a sunny or dry day where would they be, out in the garden, off making friends with the other kids in the street? Nope. Stuck in the house with the all windows and the curtains closed. Try telling me that's normal. And what's the parents response when the cooped up kids get frustrated? Scream at them at a volume previously only heard at a rock concert using language normally reserved for after the 9pm watershed. People would surely pay money to see that on the stage.

The Council's advice? Speak nicely to your neighbours. Did I tell you that when I did this and asked nicely I was threatened and had to call the police?

I hope that you never have to experience what many others on the forum have had to, that the only time you can relax in your own home (that you have worked hard to buy) is not only when your neighbours are out, that you can enjoy a good nights sleep in advance of an important day at work without the prospect of being woken by several loud thumps on your bedroom wall and that you never feel forced to spend hundreds of pounds attempting to insulate your party walls in order to watch your favourite TV programme without having the volume set so high that you risk hearing damage.
