Council Complaints between neighbours

[Deleted User]

I sympathise. What I would suggest is asking for times and dates when these disturbances happen.., and your friend keeping a diary of her comings and goings. If the council are just sending letters on receipt of each complaint.., without establishing that they are based in fact, this might help. This is assuming of course that they are not based in fact.

I would not have thought that the council would be able to insist a dog is removed for short periods of barking when visitors call????? Did your friend check this out? I wonder if the barking was more intrusive than reported or if something else was happening. If barking was a problem, an alternative that your friend could have suggested to the council was dog training. Over sensitivity/defensiveness of a dog can be retrained. I suspect this won't be possble now the dog has been rehomed but it might be an idea to check on a council's ability to keep throwing these letters at your friend, and their resolution management. Try consulting your local councillor for assistance.., they should be able to advise, even if your friend is on a probationary tenancy.

I am not having a pop at you, you have not said does your friend live in a block of flats and does the block of flat echoes, Is the dog out in the corridor when residents are trying to get into their flats.
What type of dog is it....and is there a garden to for the dog to be let out in and if not is the dog taken for walks regularly.

Personally I like dogs but they must be looked after properly.

Where my friend lives there are other dogs in the flat but the owner has time to take them out for walks and the dogs are trained but other tenants has to get into lifts with them and they are afraid of dogs also other tenants maybe allergic to dog hairs and have to use the same lifts as they are in. Also when tenants are carry shopping up in the lifts the dog will sniff their bags whcih is not good if they are frighten of dogs.

But I agree that so many letters from council there must be something you are not telling us. Councils are usually not proactive and writting letters are not at the top of their list for tenants unless there is a fear that they maybe liable for something or someone.

You say your friend and her kids are lovely. But we've only your word for it, and you're biased.

I'm sure the noisy, horrible, chavvy morons next door to me will have friends that would describe them as 'lovely'. The neighbours and I, however, would say the complete opposite.
