Our Neighbourhood Officers work in the neighbourhoods we serve. They carry out regular neighbourhood inspections and will pick up any tenancy or neighbourhood issues. 

If there are neighbourly tensions or reports of anti-social behaviour, they will investigate and deal with any problems in partnership with other organisations and our dedicated Community Safety Team.

Please help us by reporting anything to us that you are concerned about in your neighbourhood – by emailing your Neighbourhood Officer below.

Neighbourhood inspections

Help us to ensure your neighbourhood is a good place to live!

Every three months your Neighbourhood Officer carries out neighbourhood inspections to pick up any issues and hear from residents about any concerns they have, or any ideas to improve or enhance their neighbourhood.

We would love to welcome you along to the next one so we can hear your feedback on where you live. Find out when your Neighbourhood Officer is next doing an inspection here.

Neighbours

Accepting each other's lifestyles is important and can help people to get along.

We know that sometimes neighbours don’t get along and differing opinions or lifestyles can cause tensions. If this happens, we encourage you to talk to them first, if you feel it’s safe to do so. They might not realise their behaviour is causing a problem for you.

A man talking with a woman outside
  1. Do it when you feel calm. Being angry can cause more problems.
  2. Think through what you want to say and stick to it.
  3. Try to deal with the issue face to face and informally first.
  4. If speaking to them face to face isn't possible - try using one of our Dear Neighbour cards.
  5. Explain what the issue is and how it is affecting you.
  6. Listen to their response - they may have a good reason, or it might have been a one-off.
  7. Try to reach a solution you are both happy with.
  8. If anyone is getting angry – walk away.
  9. If the issue involves children, speak to their parents if you can, don’t approach them directly.

No home is totally soundproof, so everyone can expect to hear some noise from neighbours, but there are things we encourage you to do to help everyone get along.

  • Keep TVs and music to a reasonable level - especially in the summer when doors and windows are open.
  • If you're having a party, give your neighbours plenty of notice, so that they are prepared, and let them know when it is likely to finish.
  • Be respectful when leaving your home late at night or early in the morning.
  • Avoid doing noisy chores - like vacuuming or cutting the grass - late at night or early mornings if you can.

If you are experiencing a problem with a neighbour that you’ve been unable to resolve between yourselves, we are here to help.

Contact your Neighbourhood Officer today who can help. 

As well as support from your Neighbourhood Officer, we offer a Neighbour Mediation Service. This helps to prevent an issue from escalating into a bigger problem.

This service provides an independent person who works with everyone involved in an informal and confidential environment to reach a solution. Your Neighbourhood Officer can arrange this, please contact them if you would benefit from this support.
