Re: Car Parking

I live at [address], next door. I am writing in relation to problems caused by where your car, registration [registration number] is regularly parked.

• Blocking my driveway
• Preventing access down the pavement for prams/wheelchairs
• Making turning out of [road name] onto [road name] difficult
• Preventing/restricting access for emergency vehicles

You may have previously been unaware of the problems being caused. However it is making access and use of the street more difficult [and I am particularly concerned about the impact of restricted access for emergency vehicles should, for example, a fire engine or ambulance be required].

I am keen to resolve this amicably; we are after all neighbours! I would therefore be grateful if you could [park further up the street where parking will not restrict access / avoid parking on the pavement / park further back from the junction.]

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Re: Dog fouling

I live at [address], next door. I am writing in relation to problems caused by where your dog goes to the toilet. The specific dog causing this problem seems to be a [colour and breed of dog].

The dog poos regularly outside my gate / door / in my garden. You may have previously been unaware of this problem. However it affects my enjoyment of my property, is unhygienic and smells.

If this issue is not resolved, the Environmental Health Department may take action. A dog being allowed to poo in a public place (such as the street outside my property) is also a criminal offence that can attract an on the spot fine in many councils.

I am keen to resolve this amicably; we are after all neighbours! I would therefore be grateful if you could prevent your dog from pooing [outside my gate / door / in my garden] going forwards and clean the mess up if you find that it has gone to the toilet in that area.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Dear [name]

Just a quick note regarding your children’s ball games.

[CHOOSE APPROPRIATE SECTION]

[I am concerned that they play ball games right next to my windows / greenhouse / conservatory and so are likely to accidentally hit and smash the glass. Please could you ask them to play a little further away so that we don’t have any accidents?]

[The ball regularly comes over into my garden and then the children come into the garden to retrieve the ball. Please could you ask them to try to avoid throwing the ball into my garden? If it does accidentally come over, I would prefer for them to come and knock on the door and I will happily return the ball, rather than them just jumping into the garden.]

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,

Dear Sir or Madam

On [the date your broadband started] I contracted with you for [the name of your broadband package].

I entered into the contract on the basis of being provided with estimated speeds of [your promised speed]. In practice I’m only achieving speeds of [your actual access line speed].

[Include further evidence here like a log of your speeds, and any previous communication you’ve had with your broadband provider on the issue.]

[Choose the first statement below if your broadband provider has signed the Ofcom voluntary code and your after sale information letter, email or online account says you can exercise the right to exit if your speed issue hasn’t been resolved and is still below the minimum guarantee. Choose the second statement below if your broadband provider has not signed the voluntary code]

I am formally notifying you of this poor service and expect you to resolve it within 14 days. If you are unable to do so, I consider you in breach of contract and will be writing to request I leave my contract immediately and without penalty as outlined in Ofcom’s Code of Practice.

Re: Shared access way

I/we live at [address], next door and I/we contacted you recently about problems using our shared access way.

You may still be unaware of this problem but [your bicycle/bin bags etc] is/are preventing me/us from accessing the [area e.g. garage] of my/our property.

There is a legal right for residents of both our properties to use the shared access way. In addition there are covenants in the title deeds of our properties which determine how the shared access way can be used.

By blocking the shared access way, you are in breach of these covenants. I would therefore be entitled to seek an injunction to prevent blockage of the access way, and financial compensation for the period during which I have been unable to use it.

I am keen to resolve this amicably; we are after all neighbours! I would therefore be grateful if you could avoid blocking the shared access way, at any time, going forwards.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
