Neighbour Issues - at the end of my tether!

It's not my fault I get neighbours like this. Yes, the previous neighbours they swapped with were just as bad. I get on with everyone else around here and just try and get on with my life too. However, whatever he does seems to have an impact on my quality of life which we are all entitled too live in peace.

Why are the cars impacting on your quality of life?

I had a neighbour who kept parking a lorry outside. It annoyed me, but as it was doing me no harm I chose to ignore it. Life is far easier as a result.

Playing devil's advocate; just because something doesn't affect YOU, doesn't mean that other people are not allowed to be affected.

A young lass in my office sobbed and howled like a baby when her boyfriend of 3 months dumped her last week. Many of us thought it was a bit much, because they'd only known each other since 18th December! But she was upset and devastated, and nobody had the right to tell her she shouldn't be.

The OP is bothered by all the cars being parked around his home, and he has every right to be, without being questioned or ridiculed for it.

Like when all the cars are blocking the turning circle so I can't get out of my drive; despite being asked not to by myself and the housing officer. Repairing his cars outside my house causing mess etc.

Need i go on?

If they're blocking your drive, you have every right to ask them to move. But that wasn't even mentioned in your OP, just the fact that he has lots of cars about and basically that annoys you.

You're not going to win this, you're just going to continue creating stress for yourself. Your options are clear, continue on your little crusade - which is only making you miserable, no one else is bothered - or get on with your own life and find something more constructive to focus on .

Any CCTV cameras there?

No, not here.

As I said earlier passatrider, just either contact a councillor, or your MP, or the Housing Ombudsman. Don't tolerate anything that is affecting your quality of life.

And don't take any notice of people trying to belittle your troubles either.

Good luck.

I'm not belittling his concern, I'm being realistic.

I would put money on the OP reporting the same or similar problems in six months time - as he has done for the past five+ years.
