    Of course it was just my effin neighbours! so we shouted at each other for a good 10 minutes. I dared her to call the police! I was fuming!!! In the end she just went back to her flat and did nothing! hahhaah booyah! We continued the party inside the flat and played the music!even louder just to spite her. :grin:

    Our effin neighbours was still messaging us when we left, asking us if they were the reason why we left, and I told them yes, then we began fighting again through text! hahaha. I ended the whole thing by wishing them good luck in their lives. I told them how I felt sorry for them cause at least in our case, we are flexible and we can move to a new flat, unlike them, they are stuck! They can't move that easily since they bought the house, and they've spend thousands of pounds already to renovate it and still it's S***! And also until the ceiling is fixed they will experience same!thing over and over again with their new neighbours. wahahahahahah. :D

    Sorry for the long post! hahahahahha


    Sounds like you were the bad neighbour to be honest.

    The police will only become involved in a criminal matter, the council will do as little as possible.

    As another poster pointed out, you also don't sound like a great neighbor.

    That wasn't the OP, Phil. It sounds as though the OP has done more than everything in her power to appease the neighbours.



    But the post you refer to just goes to show how quickly and easily these things can escalate.

    I think you will find that one job PCSOs do well is intervening before matters turn really nasty.

    A neighbour who thought he had a right to bang on my in-laws' windows and shout obscenities at them for daring to extend their property, was visited once by the local lady community support officer.

    He didn't do it again.

    I have to say the community police were only too happy to get involved when i was harassed by a neighbour who had a history of antisocial behaviour. The council likewise wasted no time in calling the offending tenant into meeting with the designated ASB officer, who made it quite clear what would happen if any further complaints were received.

    I could have taken it even further with the police by giving a statement but i lived alone with the violent offender in question living directly above me & they couldn't guarantee my safety when they were not about, hence why i felt it was safer to just move myself.
