TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

Our next-door neighbour is vile and is spreading lies about us – we’re terrified

He’s told the postman not to deliver our post and he keeps calling the police who come knocking on our door.

We are desperate but have nobody to turn to

He’s having work done to the property and when he has the builders there, he shouts and swears about us, calling us every name under the sun.

My wife and I are both in our early 60s.

We are terrified but the police have refused to help us.

Even our local council says they can’t do anything for at least two years.

We can’t use our back garden as the fence is broken which means he can walk into our garden whenever he likes.

We are desperate but have nobody to turn to.

DEIDRE SAYS: A dispute with a neighbour can be very distressing.

If your neighbour’s behaviour is violent or threatening, always contact the police.

You can find support through ASB Help ().
