  • Sounds like an unpleasant individual: why should you (and the rest of the neighbours) put up with it?<div>Call the Council Anti-Social Behaviour Team (you can act anonymously if you wish to, and it does not matter if this person is a council tennant or not).  Definitely some proper anti-social behaviour there...</div>

    Record stuff on video, covertly if you can to avoid confrontation. Or ask a friend to do it on your behalf
  • I'd agree with both comments above. If you call anti social line, they'll probably ask you to take a record of the occurrences and send you some sheets of papers to fill in. You need to note down any disturbance of any matter. Whatever it is. <br>But be aware: it may take a while until they come round, or they may not come round at all. They may send a letter, but if she doesn't speak English or pretends not to speak English, it'll be a lost cause. Unless more people complain. <br>Sorry to hear you're having a rough time. Nothing worse than not feeling safe and happy in the place you live. Good luck. <br>

  • Try making a joint complaint to the council, involving as many of your neighbours as will agree - it might have more of an impact than lots of individual complaints.<br>
  • If you know who your local councillor is, might be worth getting in touch with them? And as others have said, document everything.
  • Hi, this is my first venture out in the SG community after having followed the blog with interest for a while. Anyhow, a suggestion may be to check the land registry; we had issues with a neighbour (noise) and we found out the property was actually part of a housing association. If that's the case then you're in luck as the association will take such anti social behaviour very seriously. All you need to do is to provide evidence. It would take a lot of stress off you. If it's a private owner then you might still get some help; if she is the owner then err... Also, as Mr Rubsnif mentions, do check the website of your borough, there will probably be some advice there. Good luck

  • Misscara<div><br></div><div>I take you are in Haringey.  If you call/email the ASBAT they will investigate regardless of whether you/the neighbour are private/council/housing association.  At the very least they will give you advice on how to go  about.</div>
  • Definitely have a chat with your Safer Neighbourhood Police Team as well.  They are specifically there to deal with the low level stuff, and even if what's going on isn't a criminal matter, they will be able to have a word or two and in the worst case be able to collect evidence for ASBOs and so on. 
  • <P>Very difficult and stressful.</P> <P>I want to say have a peaceful protest, get affected neighbours together paint up some placards and the like and walk around in front of her house letting her know that you are united in your displeasure about her antics.  </P> <P>Probably a stoooopid idea. </P> <P> </P>
  • That's halfway to reviving an old British custom: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_music">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_music</a><div><br></div><div>The Big Society in action!</div>

  • Probably to take details of the neighbours she claims are harassing her. Sorry about the cynicism. Has she quietened down since?

  • Flash mob name the time and place.
  • Have a crap in her letterbox.
  • Play reggae at ear bleeding volume and cook fish early in the morning with the windows open while letting your new pitbull bark playfully at local children. Leave paperback books about sudden murders and gangland killings on the pavement. Get a budgie and train it to make the noise of a train crash in India. Put up posters on lamposts calling for the destruction of the street due to chronic subsidence and alcohol leakage with your friends face drawn in the style of the Simpsons. Everyday life in Lorne Road, believe me. Chang
