Neighbors running a repair business from home?

Steven, do you have CCTV that covers your land up to that boundary - and capture the foul and aggressive language? If not, fit one, and download all the relevant clips, dated and timed. Keep them secure - do not share them with anyone. They are there only if you need to escalet the situation. Evidence is everything.

Are any other neighbours cheesed off with what's going on? If so, much much better if a number of complaints are submitted at the same time.

Does this 'garage' have a name? Are they a registered company? Do you reckon they are insured to carry out this work at a residential premises? Who works there? Do you reckon they have emplyment conttracts?! Pay their taxes? 

Do your investigation as best you can. 

I'd also suggest that it's almost certain they are breaching the terms of the house insurance policy. So you make sure that your policy is watertight in case their house burns down, threatening yours... Also include Legal Protection. On that last point - do you already have LP, and - if so - when was it added?

We don't have LP as far as I'm aware, but I'll have a check on this also. Thank you

A pretty good chance that some or all of these cars are without a valid MOT, road tax, or insurance. I'm sure the police would be "having words" when one of their patrol cars do a tour of the hood.

People banging on about this............

If the cars are off the road, then they don't need any of these things.

Only if said cars are on private land and not parked in roadside parking bays or grass verges outside the house curtilage.

From the OP

"currently there is about 13 cars outside parked up on the grass etc. "

So those "banging on about this" would seem to be correct.

Exactly.....

Yeah most of the vehicles are parked away from their house on council land at the moment. They have about 3 or 4 parked on their drive way, 4 or so are parked half on the footpath and half off. And the rest are on the grass

How did they get to the pavement? Why would they be repaired if not road legal l. That's why we are "banging on about it"

Haven't contacted them yet, but on the to do list. Was giving it some time to see if anything would change but only getting worse from the sounds of it recently.
