We encourage all our tenants to be considerate of neighbours. You are also responsible for making sure visitors and associates to your property do not disturb your neighbours peace, comfort and privacy.

A good neighbour is considered as:

Considerate – respects people’s rights and privacy
Tolerant – understands that people may have different ways of doing things
Concerned – notices when something is wrong and does something about it
Responsible – for the actions of their families, guests and pets
Law abiding - does not engage in illegal activity (and will call the Police if necessary)

Noise in your neighbourhood

Please consider your neighbours. You must not do anything that interferes with the reasonable peace, comfort and privacy of any of the other people living in your neighbourhood.

Everybody should expect some degree of noise in their neighbourhood from time to time. If you have a problem with noise from your neighbours, try speaking to them first. If the problem continues, please contact us on freephone (0508) 832 487 or, if the noise is excessive, phone the local Council's noise control team.
