As advice before make a list of everything no matter how slight and allso have a word with other residence that have had problems with her. we have done this for a few years here its been hard work but it works and one of the 2 numpty familys are moving out next week so it does work and the other well shes not brave on her own. shes allready started putting her dog on a long line at the front and has had her grass cut for the first time in years. think she knows shes next if she doenst sort herself out.

I do think some peopel get a kick out of causing troublethey reporst the slightets thing anyone else does and then break every law in the book themslevs. get with your nice nabours get them all to wright down everything they see or here from them. the police arent stupped and meet there sort all he time they will give you good advice and what to do call the sad no live`s bluffs lol
 
Jane i,m so sorry you been having this trouble hun,i hope it all can be sorted :luck: Your one of the most nicest peeps i,ve ever met :wub: and don't deserved all this hassle :angry: ,if you ever need to get away i,m sure we can squeeze you all in somewhere :*
 
Hi Jane, sorry to hear about the grief you are having, know what its like for townies moving in and then trying to change what brought them there in the first place, also my dogs come riding with me as well, however looking from the Police point of view i think they will tell you that the dog either should be left at home or kept on a leash. I know it is not practical but that is what i would be saying. Sorry
 
I think your last post is great Jane. What more can you do for goodness sake?!

I hope it goes well with the police. People like that do my head in.

I had a falling out with my old neighbour a few months before I left to live in somerset. She would take any opportunity to have a go at me and it really drove me insane. It turns out she spoke to someone who knocked on my door while I was away and told them all sorts of rubbish about my dogs being taken away by the RSPCA and other delightful lies and this was then spread around a BSFA meeting and got even further afield pretty quick! When I found out I was less than impressed I can tell you (I found out because someone I know had the guts to ask me thank goodness) but I never confronted my neighbour about it as that would have made her day if she thought I had got stressed about it.

It was her husband I feel sorry for (he was lovely and we'd known and got on with each other for a decade before she came along) as now he is banned from talking to his entire family as she has fallen with them all one by one. The things she told people about her mother in law made me feel sick. She is one seriously deranged woman who has made a lot of people's lives a misery.

I'd say I feel sorry for your neighbour's husband, but it sounds like he's as bad as her from what you've heard.

I really hope it all gets sorted out soon for you.

TCx

Are you a "Local" Jan " a local shop for local people :D

My advice is chill out it takes all sorts, i have found with these kind of situations if you walk away and ingnore they tend to move on to someone who takes the bait, i had a next door neighbour who satrted a war of words with a neighbour it ended with them both being arrested and it started with the most ridiculous silly incidence and escalated to them both having a police record
 
Thanks for all the advice folks, I feel much better now :thumbsup:
Anne - that is an awful situation to have to live in. Your poor dogs!!! :eek:

I am luckier inasmuch as these people live about 20 yards down the lane and I rarely see them (which is a good job as once is too many times as far as I'm concerned!!!)

I have telephoned the police and asked that the constable involved contacts me to arrange a suitable time and date to come and visit. I have written down a list of the inflammatory situations which have arisen over the last eight years and he can meet Rio and the others (although I may keep the whippets away from him as they are bound to jump up (w00t) )

I shall also say that I am more than willing to avoid meeting this woman whilst she is out jogging, but she will have to advise me what times and days she is going to be out so that I can ride at a different time (it's the only way we can avoid meeting as there is only one lane running past the houses here and it's just bad luck if we are on it at the same time).

I have also found out that their previous neighbours in Somerset were glad to see the back of them. Apparently all they ever did was slink around the neighbourhood looking for things they could report to the council or the police!!! Sounds like they need a life :lol:

I'll keep you all updated ............. and, if it doesn't work the nice way, I think Ann's suggestion sounds very promising :- :lol: :thumbsup:

Forgot, our nasty person came with history from her previous two addresses, we chose to ignore it, a young couple with a baby, the last thing you expect is for the mother to go ape and grab me by the throat!!!!!!!!!!!! This happened 9 years ago and the then police talked me out of reporting her and going to A&E. Hind sight is a wonderful thing, if I had ignored the police I doubt if things would have got so bad. They now have two boys and I dread them becoming teenagers, at nine the eldest has ridden his bike at me. I just report EVERYTHING to the police, however trivial.

What a way to have to live.

I agree. I have completely ignored this person for 8 years now, even down to slanderous remarks I found out about (albeit some while after they had been made).

Unfortunately I can't ignore this one, but I do have several supporters locally who are more than happy to give Rio a "character reference" so hopefully the police will see the complaint for what it is - another vindictive, small-minded assault on my lifestyle :angry: I am going to be "Mrs Nice Guy" on this one - even down to offering that she comes to meet and make friends with Rio (which, of course, she won't!!!)

Well I could have kicked myself, because the first time Rio barked at her I did think I ought to mention it to the police (just for the record) in case there was any escalation of the situation. I didn't, and sure enough it happened again and, just as I expected, she has now reported me! Had I spoken to the police first, I don't think they would have taken her seriously :(
