A few years ago our daughter in Canada had a visit from the RCMP "local coppers" Excuse me maam but we have had legitimate complaints about your barking dog. We will give you one week to do something about it and if it's still barking most of the day we will have to remove it to the dog pound.! Turns out it was not her dog but a neighbours. Gardens are so big its difficult to tell where one property ends and another starts.

I thought then that that was the way to do things Local coppers being able to police their own areas.. .

Noise issues are the remit of the local council, rightly or wrongly. 
 

funnily enough our local council noise team works Monday - Friday 8-4

So does ours. So by the time you get to them the problem has stopped. Which is how it's designed.

We did have a neighbour bought a house few door away. Polish chap, and he proceeded to burn the whole contents of the previous owner, furniture, carpets the lot. Local environment agency said keep a log for a week on when he was actually burning stuff. You guessed it, it took him exactly a week to burn the lot.

Your lucky that you don't live next door to me , I need to run my stereo at full volume , so that I can still hear it while I'm chainsawing 😊.

We all need to show a little bit of tolerance towards neighbours,  and they the same with us . You might dislike loud music ,  but , when you're shooting,  someone somewhere is tolerating it 👍.

Agreed.  Like anything else it is about trying to keep a balance and accepting that sometimes some things will annoy you, but also that sometimes you will annoy others.

My home is where i want to relax, enjoy my time and socialise with people who are important.  I strongly suspect that my neighbours feel the same way about their houses. 

I would hate to think that anything I do impacts on their enjoyment of their house and garden as i would hate for them to do anything that causes the same to me.  I do play music in my garden at a volume that permits me to enjoy that music without it being invasive or diruptive to others.  If my neighbours were in their garden and didn't have music on they would hear mine a little i'm sure, but not intrusively so.  Likewise i hear their music, but not intrusively so.

Adjacent to where my garden office is my neighbour has his shed/mini workshop and he is a regular tinkerer.  So during the day i often hear DIY noises, including an especially sqeaky log splitter last week, but it is his garden and his space and that is how he enjoys his time.

The majority of people in the UK live cheek by jowl with other people and that means we need to be tolerant and respectful of others, but it doesn't mean that we or they should be compelled to live in a cathedral like silence.

Happy neighbours are good neighbours, live and let live.

i'm very lucky with mine, 1 side we hardly see the other brings us cakes, chutney's cups of coffee all sorts round and i look after her garden. 

 

Further down the lane we have a couple of noisy family drinking session's now and again but they tend to quiet when asked nicely.

I remember back in the old days ,we had just moved down to Essex from Stepney  I was about 10 , I’m 69 now , my old fella going next door to ask the neighbours to stop banging on the wall .This quickly turned into a stand up , toe to toe fight after the fella swore at my mother ...we never ever had a problem after that ...no police , no council ..no court .How times have  changed ..

How do you know she has called the Police?

The neighbours are fine, it’s their ruddy cats that are a nuisance.

As high velocity lead poisoning is unlawful and therefore unacceptable, I find that high pressure water does the trick.

Doesn't harm them but they don't like it up'em.

I would have thought that if the police had taken it seriously they would have been around your house post-haste. I mean a threat to kill is serious isn’t it?

The crazy lady has already reported my partner for growing cannabis at are house and the police have already been around before and found nothing and put it down as malicious so I’m hoping they will link it all together and see her for what she is (crazy oxygen thief) but being firearms involved things can soon get out of hand. This couldn’t have come at a worse a time for me 🤬

Mine was weeks .

Best advice, Crossy666, is to get your toys lodged somewhere with a friend or RFD so that IF you do get a visit to remove them you can show that you have done a sensible thing (from the police point of view), and they cannot be seized. If a friend was holding them this would not prevent you from using your shotguns. Firearms are a little more awkward.

Why lodge you firearms on the chance someone may have reported you. 
I doubt it would make much difference if the threat had already been made. 
 

line someone up incase worse comes to worse but if it’s that’s serious you probably won’t have a certificate very long anyway. 
 

if it’s a malicious complaint to add to the others then I’m sure it’s already been noted. If it’s one on one there is no actual proof either way so I wouldn’t panic too much on it. 
 

is her behaviour becoming a concern to you?

I held some guns for somebody about six years ago because he had reported his neighbour over cannabis smells. The neighbour had a history of violence. Sure enough, the FLM suggested he may like to surrender his guns until the dispute blew over “in case you are tempted to use them.”  He pointed out that the guns had already gone, the police took away his certificate for about six months and then returned it to him. Much better, IMO, than having your guns thrown in a cupboard at the police station.
