I have a problem with my neighbour. What can I do?

First, try discussing the matter with the offender directly in order to settle the matter informally.

If this is not possible, call the Mediation Service (telephone 01273 700812). This is an independent organisation with an established track record of resolving disputes and a clear process for doing so. This process involves holding separate discussions with each party and then arranging a joint meeting where at least two mediators will help you to find an agreeable solution.

Where noise is involved Environmental Services may need to be contacted (telephone 01273 484362).
