Hi all I live in a corner bungalow with a narrow drive in and out for me and next door who says she has copd her two nieces live at 12&14 her sister at number 24 and cousin at 27
She’s at 16b with me stuck in the corner they are all in and out of next door daily it’s a nightmare I dread bin days as I’m on hydroxycarbamide no spleen high blood pressure and heart problems
If I tell the housing there’s 5 households and wandering if it’s worth it
Hello....
yes if it was me I would defiantly report it.... all to use people mixing together who else are they mixing with? Rules are rules and they are there for a serous reason, everyone needs to abide by them.
I can understand how you feel …. could you put it down in writing (keeping a copy), explaining the situation you are in and that you are frightened? Could you also suggest how they could help you feel better about things?
Remember more bees are caught with honey than salt. Technically you are right but some people are simply heedless and limited in understanding/imagination.
Think very carefully what you want to say, then imagine yourself in their position of receiving it. You'll probably want to change it!
Good luck,
Sallie
I have a camera on my front door it’s got all the images of them coming and going daily for the last three weeks even the kids on there bikes
That would certainly prove you are right but isn't your aim to try to change things with the minimum of unpleasantness? You have got to live with them ALL both during and after the lock-down. Anyway, hope things change for you. Sallie
I know your right I’ve tried the family are a nightmare they park right in the access to my drive making it difficult to get in with there 4 by 4 next door has two dogs two pups they bring food in and out taking turns cooking for each other and are always going out
I just feel like moving
Hi Phil,
This is a difficult one as it’s obviously making you very anxious.
I would steer away from anything that would cause bad feeling. As Awalimu says, you still have to live around these people after all this is over. Are you shielding? ie not going out at all? , apart from putting your bins out. If so, I would try to ignore it and on their own heads be it if one of them succumbs to the virus.
Unfortunately with so many of one family living in the same road they probably do not feel they are doing wrong. ( Incorrect I know) .
I don’t think a letter to them will make a scrap of difference, they obviously don’t care. ( like a lady dog walker who laughed at me when I covered my mouth and nose to pass her). You either ignore it or report it, but that should be your decision.
My feeling is as long as you stay inside when they are coming and going you are safe.
Look after yourself,

If those people are not seeing anyone else outside the home, then it's almost as if they are living in one household, and therefore minimal danger to you. However, I can imagine how disturbing all the coming and going can be. But are they overloading the bins? What is your concern about bin day? If they are, they perhaps you should contact the Council.
It’s just I don’t want to be passing on the narrow entrance on bin days that’s all really
But they are not living in one household they have their own houses and the rules are to only see the people you live with.... if you bend the rules then what’s next.... just seeing a friend? Just seeing your sister? Rules are rules and you are to see it mix with no one out side your family.
I'm sure you are right, but that will, no doubt, be their excuse. I can't understand how people can be so inconsiderate right outside someone else's door at any time, never mind now.
Could you put your bin out early and bring it back late? Or ask them to do it for you.
Hi yes I’m going to do that thanks really appreciate your messages
Asking them to put your bin out and bring it in gives you the opportunity to air your concerns without causing offence.
Andy
Thanks Andy will ask the question see if that works out
Hi. I really do understand how yo feel. One thing you didn't mention is the intimidation yo may feel in a situation such as this but I would agree with others who have suggested you try to go with it and just ensure that you, personally are doing as much as you can to steer clear of them and therefore stay safe.
They too need to continue their lives and with children it is very difficult so this behaviour, to them, is a way of alleviating the pressure and boredom perhaps.
You can feel content in your own efforts to self-isolate and maybe time you outdoor exercise to occur when yo know they will not be around.
All the best x
Isn't it unbelievable? We live on a main road and of course, traffic has been sparse but the nicer the day, recently, the more traffic we're hearing. Most people who pass our home are walking out into the road when they see another coming the opposite way but sometimes, we see others passing virtually shoulder to shoulder.
Unfortunately, we can only ensure that we follow guidelines ourselves to stay safe. Try to let this go a little and concentrate on other things. It really is proving difficult, I know but make sure you stay safe as you clearly are and revel in the joy of staying well. x
You're so right. Relax and enjoy your garden. x
