dealing with neighbour problems

If you have a disagreement with your neighbour, try to sort out any problems between yourselves first. Your neighbour may not have realised that they are causing a problem. A friendly word with them may be enough. Being able to calmly discuss each other’s needs and being willing to compromise could stop a minor inconvenience turning into a major dispute.

If you feel a situation has arisen that you cannot deal with on your own, that has got worse, or that has gone on for a long time with no solution in sight, contact your Neighbourhood Officer. They will look into the matter and deal with it confidentially.
