Reporting a neighbour
We have lived in our housing association house for 18 months now, but only speak to one set of neighbours (we are mid terrace).
The woman on the other side keeps herself to herself but will say hi when we see each other, however during the warm weather we have been spending time in our garden and have noticed that she and who ever happens to be in her house at the time are constantly smoking cannabis out of an open window and the smell and smoke in blowing into our garden. I really want to report her as I have a young child and so does she and I think that that kind of activity is disgusting; however I am worried that as we are the newest people on the street and the only ones who don't mix with everyone else it will be obvious it was us?
I am aware that she has had two previous offical warnings from our landlord (not for this but for other things) so do you think she would think it was the same people who reported her for that?
And lastly from a legal point of view what would happen to her?
Thanks in advance
