Noisy neighbours

 

Noisy neighbours are a common source of complaints.  They include noise from music and television, loud frequent arguments with doors slamming, dog barking and DIY activities.  Everyone creates noise, it is when noise becomes unreasonable that it may become a statutory nuisance.

 

If possible, try to resolve issues with neighbours by talking to them, they may not realise that they are causing a problem as if the dog barks or children play loud music when they are out, they would be unaware of it.
