People having a Go At Me

sparklebright628

Hi to all,

These past few weeks the Lady in the bungalow below us said to me that if my cats go in her garden 1 more time she is going to let her lurcher dog Kill them.
Cats R supposed to Roam free and go where they want to.

I have reported her to the council and the 
Mp for this area last year she reported us for putting decking down now lying saying this is the first time she's done anything.

And just to make things harder my daughter had a go at me yesterday evening saying I cannot buy a smaller bike to help me loose more weight for health reasons.

I am fed up of people being nasty to me
Just because I am trying to improve my health for myself this is causing me more anxiety for sure.

What can I do I just feel like I want to move from this horrible place.

Hi there,

Well staying here isn't the answer either next to nasty neighbours people dont have any brains I have never liked this area would rather be somewhere nicer than round here the neighnour in question only moved here cus she caused trouble where she lived before.

Sorry to hear about the difficulty you are having with your neighbour @sparklebright628

Citizen's Advice has an information page about complaining about your neighbour you may find useful to read. Can I ask, do you own your house or rent?

Hello @sparklebright628

I've just taken the name out for privacy reasons. Have you thought about asking whether they have a home swap list?

My husband won't want to move so I would have to move on my own which I am prepared to do because don't get on really well.
Both opposites personalitys

I am all for helping myself and he's a stick in the mud just wants to stay where he is and not move at all.

Re. "Citizen's Advice has an information page about complaining about your neighbour you may find useful to read." It's also got a link about mediation, which could be well worth trying (to avoid escalation if nothing else.) If this doesn't lead anywhere (or maybe as well) I'd be trying your local community advocacy organisation (POhWER etc.) for support and guidance.

Thanks for picking up on that @Spoonbill, as you mention, local advocacy support might also be worth considering @sparklebright628, there's a list on the NHS of advocacy services which you can contact.

Sorry to hear you've got a neighbour like that, I had one like that always moaning about something, in the end i just ignored them completely and eventually they gave up. As for the dog, a Lurcher that should be out in the garden anyway, if it was cats wouldn't go in there at all.                                                               As for your daughter, if you want to get a smaller bike get one, its your money to do what you like with.     I wish i was still able to ride one, So spend your money and enjoy your bike.

Hi @sparklebright628
i would call the police next time  the neighbour is nasty to you I have not spoken to my neighbour  for 13 years I have been.stalked by her and being stared at because of the way I walk i also have a cat and they roam free  some people lead sad lives I hope  things sort out but do not move out of your home because then the neighbour has won . All the best Margaret

Hi @Margare93222061 I'm sorry to hear about your neighbour too, have you ever spoken to anyone about your concerns, or reported anything to the police?

I'm sure your cat enjoys roaming around, I know my cats did when I was younger

@Alex_Scope
My neighbour does not bother me now.  I know how to stick up for myself I do not put up with nonsense. but  sometimes when you tell people what she has been like they just laugh, but they will have their turn one day take care Alex Margaret

Stellar

unfortunately moving is the only real way to escape toxic neighbours. either that or hope they move themselves on their own accord.

other alternative is to spend years of your life logging everything they do and reporting them over and over again to the council and hope they do something (which they don't, and usually reporting makes it worse)
