No one wants a nuisance neighbour, few tips on what you can do.
Diary . .
. . At the first sign of any trouble from your neighbour or members or the local community, no matter how petty it might seem, always start a diary of all incidents, times and dates - make this as detailed as you can. This is vital if matters get worse and will give you some proof of events.
Talk to them..
Try and approach your Neighbour for a 'friendly chat' about the problem. Try hard to keep it light hearted and friendly. It may be that there is a situation you are unaware of and this could clear the air between you. Remember, that sometimes people aren't aware of any distress or disturbance they may be causing you. If you can't or don't want to approach your neighbour in person, try writing to them and outlining your concerns instead.
Keep all records - noise sheets, letters - everything that is related together, in a file. Make sure you keep copies of all letters you send (sign the copy too!) and log details of any phone calls you make to whoever (get their name and contact tel. number) about the matter. If possible ask for these people to confirm in writing the basis of your phone call with them. Make sure you always keep your diary up to date.
