I have a friend who has been putting up with this sort of terrible behaviour for 4 long years....no amount of complaining to the council....the police....the environmental officer.... her local councillor... her doctor ( as she’s not allowed to sleep at night)...has done her any good. She has made mountains of diary notes...officially recorded, with a council device all the excessive noise this next door neighbour puts her through to ALL the said agencies , but all to no avail. We think the reason is because her elderly neighbour causing the problem, is older than her...and they don’t want to seem to be discriminating against the ‘troublemaker’. My friend has now resorted to travelling around on buses all day , winter and summer, to get some respite from this aged woman next door , who even her relatives, when told of the problem she’s causing in the neighbourhood, ignore! My friends health has deteriorated in consequence of this neighbours bad behaviour....all the council can offer us for her to move away , although of course they can’t offer her a placement. When my friend suggested they remove the neighbour causing the problem they said that wasn’t within their remit. So as usual in this country , the victim has no choice but to put up or shut up! You will get no help from these agencies...they’re toothless in the face of political correctness!
