Cops do nothing about my neighbour

So this is telling you not to contact the police etc/ and deal withn the matter directly yourselves.

Ask your MP or local councillor for help with this and put in a complaint to the nearest Police HQ

Hope that helps

I fully agree!!!

I have called the cops SEVERAL times about people doing drugs in my alley. I dont live in a bad part of town but I am next to a high school. The kids that ditch walk down my alley and "hang-out" smoking/doing drugs. Calling the cops is pointless.... after I call, it takes like 4 hours before the cops call me back to tell me they have someone on the way.... are you kidding??? By then, the kids are long gone.

Well, today, one of the kids decided to start throwing rocks. He threw one into my backyard and it hit one of my cars. He's throwing rocks while passing the joint back and forth... I asked them to leave my alley and they all laughed at me. So, I called the cops... AGAIN. It's been 3 hours, the kids left about an hour and half ago and still NOTHING.

So when is enough enough?? Even if the cops just drove down the alley and "shoo-ed" them all off, it would be better then nothing. Because they never do anything, the kids think they can get away with it.

I have given them enough warning that I will take matters into my own hands. They can see how many times I have called about this, and they don't seem to care. Is this REALLY what my tax dollars pay for???

Norbet,
Sorry you're experiencing this kind of crap. I hope it get's better for you. We too, faced the attitude of the authorities siding with the "problem" family, as if we should not dare complain. I am sure that these people realise this and use it to their own advantage. Best of luck..

been there - bought the T shirt - got the DVD - have had the alcoholic , who ironically got a move with the help of the Ward Councillor because of all the druggies .

Had it up to here with them , the upshot was her nephews letting themselves into a unlocked house and torching her house putting me in danger .

It got worse I got this typical Neighbour from Hell Chav type - my father has been threatened , the police traditionally / institutionally don't want to know .

I own this ex council house but Gateway were unbelievably patronizing and even sided with the Pikey scum next door . It's taking the value of my house down .

Their Anti Social Officer has put him on warnings and he's had a few warnings for being a nuisance of himself with petty , trivial complaints .

They want sterilizing and put together and made to live next to each other with CCTV watching every move they make .

We were unfortunate to have a family that is best described as scum move in next to us. Unusually, there actually was a father who worked. Thing is he worked away - all week. This gave his 'common law wife', 'common' being the operative word, the opportunity for her and her loathsome offspring to be as disruptive and as obnoxious as their imaginations allowed.
It was a nice quiet road until they moved in. Within days, they lowered the tone completely. Their kids had vandalised trees, property, cars (ours included). I watched the mother urinate on the pavement outside (she's about 40 but looks much, much older) whilst being cheered on by the local chavs who had started coming around as they knew they were on to a good thing.
Constant knocking at the door. "Have you got anything to drink?" " I need to borrow £20" "Me kids haven't had anythin' to eat".
Their small and undernourished children regularly caused mayhem until the early hours of the morning. On top of that there was the constant noise from their house and due to the lowlife they attracted. While her 'partner' was away working, she saw a succession of blokes who, to be honest, looked like they'd just got out of the nick. The only time she was reigned in was when her 'partner' came home at weekends.
I saw a visit once from what I think was social services, I suspect this was because her kids never seemed to be at school.
The Police? Forget it, they're not interested. On the many occasions we called them they told us it was a 'civil matter'.
In the end we sold up and moved as we could not stand these people anymore, nor could we deal with the stress. They seem to do everything with an attitude of 'I'll do what I like".
To all people out there going through a similar thing, I sincerely hope it gets better for you soon.

To the dangerous motorists coming out of Mereside Scum Estate racing each other and overtaking other vehicles at about 60mph on Clifton Road towards Tesco which is a 30 mph zone:

You all need your heads testing.

There is something of a problem which ones like you from such estates have which are demonstrated in your contempt towards others and the desire to show off in such dangerous ways means you are obsessed about something - probably trying to prove yourselves because you are all failures.

It is a good job you are on benefits because no decent employer would want to employ the likes of your ilk. You are better out of work since we would always find most people better than you lot.

I agree with you!!

Same with me except for neigbhours, I had local youth gangs vandalising my mum and my car mosttly and I got many of CCTV footage with most postive identifaction and police do nothing!!! hopeless really! they say no identifaction but one of our safer neigbours team she knows the name of one offenders! and everytime I call for police and they say will dispatch soon and 6 hours later they came!!

On the subject of neighbours, I would say live and let live. The smashed window and abuse shouldn't have happened. I don't blame people for turning vigilante when their neighbour torments them over several months. If we all left each other alone, all of our lives would be much better.

I am in the same situation wth regards neighbours from hell,I was assaulted 4 weeks ago by one of them and after taking our statements the police officer has gone off and not bothered to even speak to the neighbour on ringing the police station we are told every time that this officer is out on a BIG operation we leave messages but we have heard nothing.My grandad was a police sargeant many moons ago (Dixon of Dock Green Days)and people like this scum would nt have got away with it.Why not you ask .....because the world then was nt all politically correct,kids got a hiding from their parents when they did wrong and were taught respect and no I am not an old codger yet thanks I am in my 50's so it was nt a lifetime ago.I dont have grandkids yet but thats no bad thing what a world to bring them into if its as bad as it is now imagine what it will be like out on the streets by the time they reach their teens?

Tell the police over the phone you've had enough of their inaction and have shot your scummy neighbours. They'll be round in a flash

I believe they have this new pledge to be seen on the streets in neighbourhoods and towns. Why should this be new, is this not what they should be doing anyway? If they aren't on the streets are they all in the station?

I wonder if their new pledge involves not parading the streets as an extra from a Mad Max movie. Have you seen the state of some of them? I saw this cop the other day, I can only gather he acquired his trousers from Coco The Clown's cast off bag as I think they were tailored for three people. It's the Queen's uniform and some look a total bag of shyte in it. On the other hand, some look as smart as a carrot.

It's kind of posh where I live. Upon the unfortunate occasion you may have to call for the police they initially ask, "Who recommended us?"
