Just thank your lucky stars you aren't attached to them! Many years ago we had some neo-nazis move in 2 doors up from us. We saved up and moved.

The Transits aren't the real issue and I'd suspect if you did manage to get them moved others would turn up instead. You need to get rid of the neighbours instead.

I assume they're renting so you need to deal with it as an antisocial behaviour issue & with whoever their landlord is.


The really honest answer is that any straight and legal approach is going to be slow and troublesome and the scrotes will be several steps ahead as they're not bothered.
I suspect you are right. They are renting, I have the landlords name but no address or contact details.

Was there an estate agent that the place was marketed with? Perhaps you could ask them?

It never went up with an agent. The junkie relative round the corner knew the people who were in there before and got the place through them. Never went up for rent with an agent. I've been all over Rightmove too.

Nightmare. Check the vans on askmid and also tax status.
2 are untaxed. Already checked. Reported with dvla and reported as abandoned vehicles with the council. Not much has happened since.
May also be worth reporting on fix my street, with photo's ideally.

The site is an awful lot more public and will shame them into doing something by putting a timer on the situation. I've used it with better results than reporting direct

Andehh

Sorry to hear it OP, a crappy situation whichever way you spin it!

I would do my utmost to turn a blind eye and hope that if he is causing this much agro outside the house, the inside will be suffering just as much. Keep the landlord well abreast of the situation in a friendly way (don't turn into a pest to him), just to ensure the landlord is well aware his property is unlikely to be well cared for & he can have an eventual plan B with them.

I'd also ensure local community police team are aware & keep an eye on things (again, update them/ask for updates, but don't pester them) Same with DVLA/council. A slow and steady approach of applying pressure, but don't expect any 'quick fixes'.

Wouldn't hurt to suitably get some CCTV coverage, just to see what happens when people arn't watching?

Hope that in the mid-term they move on, they eventually will.

Also not sure if it's been mentioned yet but a fan favourite of the PH collective is hammering frozen sausages into their front lawn in the night and sit back and watch it's destruction in the morning.

Sorry to hear this, we had an "abandoned" vehicle parked in the residents parking zone on our street a few months ago. After it'd been there for a few days I contacted the non-emergency police line (101) and it was removed the same evening on a flat-bed! Might be worth a try.

Also, for £3 you will be able to get a copy of the title register for their house from the land registry, that hopefully will give you the landlords name and address details...

This did cross my mind. However they don't have a lawn, and probably wouldn't care much for it if they did
