Don't be a tosser, the ads say - but who's going to back it up?

We often say that one of the advantages of living in apartments is that when your neighbours cause a problem, there’s a process through which you can at least attempt to find a resolution.

But what if your neighbours live in houses up the street?  And what if they are schoolkids who gather outside your flat most nights, talking loudly and drinking takeaway milkshakes?

And what do you do when they toss the discarded drinks containers in your common property garden?

Do we have a solution if a quiet word isn’t an option, and shouting and gesticulating is likely to exacerbate the situation?  Of course we do, and it’s HERE.
