What to do about neighbourhood dispute? ASBO?




Paving driveway - pave your drive or parking lot with blocks or gravel.

My friend moved into a house just over a year ago with her boyfriend and little boy, she is also pregnant with her second. There have been none stop problems from the neighbours, one of them is my aunt, she is a huge cow. It all started when my friend bought the house, it came with a garden that was paved and open (no fence). All the neighbours used this land to park on while the house was empty, it's big enough for 3 cars. Anyway, my friend didn't fence it off immediately and just left notes on the cars saying "this is private property, could you please not park here, thank you", nothing nasty. One of the neighbours came around banging on the door shouting the odds, "I've lived here 30 years and will park where I damn well please" sort of thing, I was there when this happened, he was a real tool towards her. My friend is only 24 and was a bit shook up by it, he is about 60 and well built.

Anyway they continued to park there so she waited until they were out and put a metal chain across the opening so no one could park there, a week later she put a fence up.

After this they became much more aggressive and started throwing rubbish in the garden, breaking plant pots, generally making the outside area look a tip. They scratched her car and broke the rear window (although they deny this). They stand outside her house in a group of 6 and talk really loudly about all the neighbours hating her and she'll get what's coming to her. A young girl came to the door and said she was her boyfriends other girlfriend, after she said all this she left and winked at the neighbours as she was leaving. There was another instance where they threw around 20 condoms all over her garden and were dancing around shouting "you should've put something on the end of it". These people are all over 40.

It's all too much for her, she's tried being civil but they don't want to know. Is there anything she can do, she's under a lot of stress which can't be good for the baby. Will the police do anything? Or the council?
Hi, thanks for all your replies. When I said my aunt was a huge cow, I meant huge b!tch. She's not fat just very nasty. Even my uncle, her husband, told me to be wary of her. I've spoken to her but she just said my friend has been causing trouble and all the neighbours hated her but it was none of my business and I should stay out of it.
