I rang the EN and he told me he visited them a week b4 to tell them the council were going to install the machine and he also informed the housing assoc. Well what a waste of time! of course their going to be quiet if he tells them. He said yes but they don't know when its going to b installed and when its going to be collected!!! How odd then that they went silent on the very day its was plugged in!! Ummmm 
I'ts so frustrating....yes, they will have told them, I have very little doubt......Talk about the law being an ass 
I know that feeling Evie: At my previous flat when the NN and friends came back on the day it was installed he said "sshhh, she's got sound equipment"......NOT "she may have". At the time I thought I was going mad, who would have told him.....
and on our forum we find its common practice......I did make a F O I request about this and the consequent inability to collect natural evidence.... waste of time.....
We had our noise recorder back in October 20011 (second time). The ASB officer has listened to it, sent us a copy (we can't open it due to the stupid format the recording is in) and sent us a report on the noise, she has spoken to the housing manager and the head of housing, neither of them have got back to us and according to ASB officer at the meeting they had they stated they did not want to go down the 'legal route'! this despite clear evidence that the type of noise we have been reporting for 3 years does indeed happen 
We have already put in an official complaint (our second) and it looks like we will have to take our own legal action. Just need to find a good solicitor 
If you can't obtain legal aid.......
don't think about it.....
a bottomless pit .......

Yea I know but we cannot keep living in this hell, we hope that by winning the case (and we definately have enough evidence) we would get our initial outlay back by being awarded costs, one solicitor even suggested we could be entitled to compensation, unfortunatly he does not do legal aid cases so we may have to rob a bank to get the money

If I get forced out of my home some other poor person with I'll health will get left to suffer as my property is adapted
I have recently submitted a complaint about my neighbours next door to Manchester City Council. Due to the nature of the disturbance I have reason to believe it is deliberate. I have moved five times in the past three years. The problem seems to continually follow me. I have kept a diary for two months after being advised by my support worker.
Has anyone had any experience with using the housing charity Shelter in legal proceedings? And if so, what were they like?
Hi Quantumspirit... I haven't had any experience with Shelter myself. What kind of problems are you having with your NN?
All sorts of noises from shifting furniture about and banging sounds to scraping on the walls and childish farting noises. All of this goes on in the early hours of the morning. Due to this it seems that the neighbours are doing this on purpose.
I received notice from the council on Saturday that they have dispatched a warning to them. The first two nights after were quite, then they were being disruptive last night. The disappointment that the notice does not seem to have worked has caused me to feel very tired and diepressed today.

Of course its made you feel tired and depressed....thats a natural reaction.
Can you ring or e-mail the council to advise them their warning is being ignored.... and continue with your log sheets.
I'm in no position to advise anything else, as I've just transferred to a slum to be able to live "normally".
I have been on SSRI's (medicines againt depression) because of nuisance. Nuisance is a major death cause
All very well going to government. However, what do you do when police stand next to open window where noise is blaring out and say they hear nothing?
What do you do when recording equipment is installed in your premises and the nuisance has already been informed when equipment will be installed and removed?
What do you do when their human rights have to be protected and you have none?
Or, how about police writing blatant lies to your GP inferring that you have a medical problem.
MP, MSP, councillors and even lawyers will have nothing to do with this, it is my problem and there is no help.
Nuisance has been caught by police on numerous occasions with loud noise, banging on walls, etc, even caught at 3am by police with ceiling fan loosely bolted to ceiling with blades removed to make as much noise as possible, and police say - in writing - that the police 'have never heard any noie from neighbour'.
Witnesses are not wanted, and those who have offered to give statements and even go to court are ignored.
Nuidance has on 2 separate occasions admitted to police and witnesses that he is deliberately harassing me and police will do nothing as he has admitted harassment, leaving him free to continue and have his human rights protected.
This, is the law in Scotland.
Of course, had it been me doing the harassing i would have been charged and in court - swiftly.
Anyone got any ideas, council and police have been a waste of time as this person seems to have the full protection of the police.
