Neighbour Disputes

Disagreements between neighbours can occur for a variety of reasons, but there are effective ways to resolve issues before they escalate.

If you are experiencing problems such as noise nuisance, boundary disputes, or anti-social behaviour, the following agencies may be able to help:

Who to Contact

✅ Police / PCSOs
For criminal offences or persistent anti-social behaviour that is causing harassment, alarm, or distress.

✅ Local Council
Responsible for issues such as noise complaints, waste problems, environmental concerns, and some housing matters.

✅ Housing Associations / Landlords
If you live in social or rented housing, they can provide support, mediate disputes, and enforce tenancy agreements.

✅ Harmony Mediation Service
A specialist, independent service that helps neighbours resolve disputes through calm discussion and mutual agreement.

Top Tip

💬 Communication is key
In many cases, a polite and calm conversation can resolve issues early and prevent them from becoming more serious.
