Whether you have had enough of your neighbours' actions, or complaints have been made against you, it may be possible to improve the situation in your neighbourhood. This section outlines what some of the options might be and explains how and where you can get help.
In most situations, your options will depend on how serious things have become and whether your relationship with your neighbours is still reasonable. Before you do anything:
- Try to see things from their point of view and be reasonable.
- Be aware that people who are behaving antisocially might not be aware that they are disturbing you or may not be able to control their behaviour (they might be disabled or have behavioural problems).
- Remember that if someone has made complaints about you, your behaviour has probably caused them serious distress.
- Above all, stay calm.
