Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
My heart sinks every time I see this come up. I'm so sorry Bevs, was it an all night noise fest again?
You've mentioned previously that there's a lot of new build going on around you, would it be possible to cut your losses and move away from the anti-social property? I know that's not always possible, this exact same issue is the major cause for our moving delay.
Can you sue the local authorities for loss of value or blight on the property if they don't enforce the regulations? Does Legal Aid exist in NZ?

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
That would be four nights in a row now.
It is banging out there and where are those that should act. Oh yeh. Probably in their own beds asleep a few moments from here.
So. Feel safe ?
A better life ?
Nicer people?
Give me a flamin' break.

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
Nooooooooo, I really don't know how you and Mr BEVS cope, I really don't. When we had a problem with our neighbours in the UK back in the late 80's, early 90's I swung between suicidal and murderous!
I think I would have to move for the sake of my own mental health, you are very obviously made of stronger stuff than me. I do feel for you.

It ain't going to end until you up sticks and find a place surrounded by old agers.
I feel for you. You paid good money for your place and should have the right to live a comfortable life there. By now I would have torched the place one night after closing and the property was devoid of two legged specimens.

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
Some of these are old agers Rete. There are some young'uns but in the main this comes from adults..... and selfish fools.
Yup. Yup. Working on that one.
What makes me spit more is the cowardly neighbour that phoned us about the noise level. He clearly didn't want to phone the council noise line himself but wanted us to act.

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
Well hey.
I'd like to say this was solved but it is not.
So. Poo neighbours. Well the council think had changed hands but it has not . Useless lummux. So not so good but better.
Pub . Crap Sprig and Fern.
So we phone them in good faith and what do we get.
Are you enjoying the music?
Pile of crud or what.

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
Sorry to hear of your issues BEVS
Had a minor run in with my neighbor over mowing the lawns recently. We have a bit out the front where there is no boundary marker and it's not clear who's patch is who's. So rather than have a sensible conversation the lady erupts whilst i'm mowing saying the previous people in out house used to take turns with them to do the whole patch. I said that's fine, but how am i supposed to know what the mowing protocol is? I kept the peace and said you could have just said on one of the previous occasions when we've met in the street. She cooled it down, but they're in my bad books now for the attitude problem.
She's a bit scary with tattoos so i had to bite my lip. I just want to keep the peace until one day we are rich enough to be in Welly City or at least a nice part of Porirua. Kapiti has a lot of bogans. Hurry up and build the highway and hopefully my house price goes up so i can leave!
On the other side we have a family with 3 kids who bounce a basketball out on the street for ages which is bloody annoying. They were playing on our drive once so i went out and told them off. But apparently is some Kiwi thing to play on people's property according to some Kiwi colleagues of mine

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
We drove past there at new years and I thought about your plight. You are obviously far more grown up than me, as I'd have stolen a bulldozer by now and driven through the place.

Re: Other peoples noise and anti-social behaviour.
Our Wednesday late night. Husband had to get up at 5.30am this morning.
Apparently this only proves there was a late night party.Not that the noise was excessive. It would also seem it might be the wrong sort of noise , there being no bass thump.
TDCouncil EH dept is awaiting the noise report sheet from the 3nrd party contractor who , despite two calls made, did not arrive to our house.
Two mins of recording on a snappy wee canon powershot not designed for recording sound as such. You get the full benefit of our inhouse lullaby from next door at 1.25mins in.
