Aggressive new neighbour

I would advise that absolutely every little issue is written down, with dates, times, names of witnesses etc Speak to everyone, Citizens Advice, local politician, Age Concern may also be able to help, do you have community Police to advise you ? Also, if the Housing Association are not responding to you, ring a local news paper, the HA will soon respond to bad publicity. People like this are just bullies, they rely on intimidation to control others around them. I so feel for you, no one should have to live in fear of verbal or physical aggression. Good luck ...

I agree that you need to log everything as your MP, Environmental Health and everybody else will ask you to do this. Horrible.

If she is a Trust tenant then her lease should state that she has to be a reansable tenant and they can tke action against her, so do insist that they sort this out and not you. They will be able to use a log of incidents if you keep one as evidence and CCTV etc. You are fortunte that she does not own the property, in general housing trusts only give a permanent tenancy to people who have lived in a property for a year without causing any problems.

Agree that you must keep a comprehensive log of everything that happens. Also I suggest you write to the Trust, telling them you are doing this and that if there is any aggressive action that causes you injury, because of their failure to monitor the situation, then you will hold them culpable.

Tell them you are giving a copy of the letter to a trusted friend with instructions to hand it to the police and the media if the situation escalates.

The only real power lies with the Trust who can remove her from the property. You need to make your situation clear. You also need to add that if they reveal to the tenent who the complainant is and this results in more trouble, then the same applies ie the letter will be made public.

I have been in touch with Safer Communities and they are going to get in touch with PCSO and Housing Trust, who have not come back to me after initial phone call

I have put off getting the railing done until after the Housing Trust get involved and tell her that it belongs to me and she only has access. Otherwise it will all kick off again and as it is coming to the weekend the relatives would be round.

HT do not seem to inform tenants re what is expected of them or the tenants don't read it. The last tenants, who she swopped houses with were there 18 months and I also had an issue over the flying freehold. She was in a four bed house and has swopped to a two bed.

The previous tenants father completely re furbished it and they are now doing the same to her previous property. HT seem delighted that someone else is upgrading their properties.

I don't know why everyone is so surprised that a nurse could be so awful as a neighbour, they are like everyone else, with good and bad amongst them, Personally, I have never ascribed to the 'all nurses are angels' as pushed by tabloid press, I have met some fantastic ones, and some lazy indifferent ones who should never have been in the ward. I do hope you get this sorted, nobody should have to have their daily living ruined by selfish and aggressive neighbours.

Thank you everyone, Safer Communities will contact Housing Trust and PCSO,'s hopefully they will tell her that the front she claims is hers is mine. Forge has rung me today to say they are ready to do the work. I have explained to them that I need HT to be involved first.

Someone did tell me to state that if there was any problem with the re jig of the fence "Solicitors would be involved" and to tell HT this.

OP - so sorry you're having to experience this. Can you get your good neighbour to show the party CCTV, with you being manhandled, to the HT? They sound a horrible family.

The neighbour would have been given a booklet of the rules but some don't read them or do and ignore as they think they can do as they like. Glad you've moved things forward. Please continue to record details of any more disturbances. Shame you're going through this, you should have peace at your time of life.
