Occasionally difficulties can arise between neighbours, which can be very upsetting for those concerned and affect you being able to live in your home peacefully.
The complaints that we receive vary enormously in terms of seriousness. No two disputes are the same and we have to consider each case on its merits and decide on the appropriate action. Some cases may be resolved relatively easily and quickly whereas others may be more complicated, take longer to resolve and may require legal remedies.
If you are experiencing problems we would advise you to try to resolve the problem yourself first by approaching your neighbour in a calm, non-confrontational manner in order to talk the issue through. Experience shows us that sometimes involving the Housing Team can make the situation much worse.

If you would feel unsafe doing this or if this approach was unsuccessful please ring our office on 01443 424200 to discuss the matter further with your Housing Officer.
