Top 10 tips to be a good neighbour

We expect you to be a good neighbour. Some examples of how you can be a good neighbour are:

1. Not playing music loudly or late at night.
2. Not banging doors or shouting, especially late at night.
3. Not keeping dogs tied up all day, as they can bark and annoy neighbours.
4. Carrying out DIY in the day time rather than at night.
5. Telling neighbours if you are planning to have a party or if work is being done to your home.
6. Laying carpet if you live in an upstairs flat. This will help reduce the noise of your footsteps.
7. Keeping your garden neat and tidy.
8. Having a friendly word with your neighbour if they do something that offends you. Most people will respond well to this as they often don't realise that they are causing a problem.
9. If you have children, telling them not to play ball games where it is likely to cause a nuisance to neighbours.
10. Being considerate and understanding that older and younger people often have different lifestyles.
