What To Do
12 Answers
What do you do if your next door neighbour plays loud music until 3am?
A female friend of mine is despairing of her neighbour. She has asked him to turn it down but he just says if she doesn't like it, then report him. She lives on her own (private rented accommodation)and is quiet scared of him.
She is quiet vunerable and is under the mental health services for depression and anxiety, she is also a recovering alcoholic (1 1/2 years sober) after nearly dying from liver failure. I fear this could start her drinking again. Ive told her to ring the police but she says that dialing 999 (when its actually happening) is not an emergency and if she dialled a non emergency number then by the time anyone arrived the music would have stopped and he would just deny it. Im sure this would be seen as a breach of the peace. Non of the other neighbors want to get involved.
Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks

Report him ?
You could try ringing the police when it happens and telling them about the disturbance, but in my experience they'll just want you to talk to a council department.
(I don't know where these films get their scenes of police turning up where there is a party and asking them to turn it down, in my experience they aren't much interested in noise.)
