Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Unruly neighbour
I'm experiencing problems with one of my neighbours being generally inconsiderate and noisy and when I try to speak to her she just laughs and says sorry but carries on doing it. I have seen her arguing with a lot of folks in the street about the things she is doing and I just wondered if anyone here is involved and would like to discuss the best way of doing something about this.
I don't want to be too specific because I don't want any revenge attacks (she was arguing with someone yesterday and they were saying that she damaged their car because they parked outside her house), but if you think you might be one of the people involved I am happy to chat privately about this because she is getting worse. It's such a shame becasue I have recently moved to this street and everything is great except for this.

Some people are just crap neighbours. When the ten commandments are not talking about God they spend more time talking about being nice to your neighbours than murder or stealing. Just saying.

Hi Lauren, a few things you can do. It'll take some time, but hopefully it'll work. Start a noise / bother diary. Make a note of what, where and when. Also make a note of any witnesses. Find out who the landlord is. If she is a council tenant you can contact the private housing team. Do that when you have enough backup. If she is bothering the neighbours she is in breach of contract and can be thrown out. Ask a few of your neighbours to do the same, you are much stronger if you work together. Step one is to figure out who the landlord is though. You can also see if the local SNT can go round and have a quiet word.
It does sund like this person has some mental health problems, and may not be suited to live on her own, this is certainly not normal behaviour.
Like I said, it will take time, but it is doable, and by the sounds if it will be more than with it when you get rid of her! No one should be allowed to bully others like that. It's totally unacceptable. Make sure you get a few neighbours to do the same though, and when it's time, contact the landlord jointly. The more the better.
Good luck!!!

Thanks for suggestions folks. I've seen the police at her door a few times so I imagine it's in connection with her behaviour. I haven't reported anything yet as it looks like it's already in hand and things seem to have quietened down a bit. I'm still keeping a diary of it though in case it gets worse again.
