community constable was able to help,she spoke to them and it turned out
they used to own our house 10 years earlier but had lost it due to a mortagee sale owing to his aloholic issues,community constable and concil
virtually told them to pull thiier heads in it was no longer their house

You've missed so many There's no mention of trees, roots and branches causing damage, blocking light, you've not mentioned ones that do karaoke, there's no mention of fences, shrieking children, children that scream insults over the fence, people that damage your property, I don't think you've given enough weight to dogs either. |

There is only 1 pavement and it is on the main route to the primary school and just around a blind corner. As Satre said hell is other people. |

As for mowing on a Sunday.....seems some people despite having all week to mow, are stuck in their ‘routine’. It’s pretty selfish when you have others for whom only have sundays off work. They are so stuck in their ways they probably have a weekly menu, morning tea at 10am lunch at 12 dinner at 6 and 9pm Friday’s for nookie. Lol cracks me up. But yeah the mower is annoying as heck and just like clockwork off it went again yesterday. I have a special name for people like that. ???????? lakeview3 - 2021-01-25 19:51:00 |

| 90 | I'm really struggling to see what's wrong with mowing the lawn on a Sunday, retired or not. I've been "guilty" of mowing mine on a weekend, but I generally wait till about 10am in case anyone's having a sleep in. If people are working long hours during the week the weekend is the best time to catch up with maintenance, plus with the changeable weather you need to pick your days. Retired? you can do as you please, some retired folk are busy volunteering or doing hobbies.
I don't care as long as no one keeps me awake half the night with dub dub stereos or wakes me up at some ungodly hour of the morning. hound31 - 2021-01-25 21:44:00 |

I don't care as long as no one keeps me awake half the night with dub dub stereos or wakes me up at some ungodly hour of the morning. oh I dunno, if I was retired I would probably think ‘I will mow my lawn when others are at work so I don’t ruin their day off with noise’. But then that’s just the way I think I guess. lakeview3 - 2021-01-25 21:49:00 |

We have applied for and have been granted approval from the council to build under our house. Unfortunately our neighbour has always had issues with us making any changes to our place and has been calling the council on us repeatedly for anything and everything she can over the last 5 years. We are at the stage now where we are over it. Any advice on what we can do? Because she is not harrassing us herself, we can't apply for a harassment and restraining order.
we had a similar neighbour next door,we were renovating the whole house
and everytime we did something they would complain to council even though it wasnt a council matter and try and stop anything being done,
each time they saw us outside they would ask when we were going to die,
we found out the reason was they had had our house built when it was new
how they wanted it, but owing to issues of their own doing they had lost the
house in a mortgagee sale to the owner before us who was only here a couple of years and didnt change anything, so each time we did something like build a new fence replace the kitchen etc even paint the exterior they
felt as if it was a personal attack on them as they did not anything to change as they hoped oneday to buy it back no such luck for them we have been here 18 yrs and the whole time they rented next door lucky for us thier landlord sold and they moved catbrat - 2021-03-04 09:50:00 |
