Neighbour threw brick at my builders – Page 2 – Chat Forum

Our neighbour, who has vociferously objected to the plans / appeal / further plans and who has generally made life a right royal pain in the arse during the whole process - party wall shenanigans, threatening us with injunctions etc. (At this point I should say that he has developed the same extension on his land and we have done everything by the book). I was not on site but today he went around [i]again[/i] to complain to the builders who are digging up the existing slab that they weren't doing it correctly. I reckon some fairly fruity language may have been dished out to him and he threw a brick at the jcb digger and then when told (I suspect) to f-off by the driver threw a brick at him. He is 65plus and pretty weedy so not sure it would have been an overarm hurl - I need to get more info from the builders - but they were pretty incredulous about the episode. One of the builders (there were 3 up there) recorded him after the act on his mobile with a brick in his hand which wasn't thrown but the builders were saying in the video "go on throw another brick then". I do believe the neighbour has some temper on him as last time I spoke with him months ago also got rather shouty. My partner went up there after the incident and spoke to the builders and the neighbours. The neighbour's side of the story is that the builders were being abusive and he "got their attention by throwing a brick in the foundations". My opinion is that I should speak to the builders tomorrow and see if they want to pursue it (they may not be overly bothered but they did threaten to call the police on him at the time). Either way this is assault and I think at a minimum the police should have a word with him - if not pressing charges then at least to record the incident in case he further makes a pratt of himself.

The police, I hope, are also going to tell him to stop filming the builders with his ipad all the time :-/

I'd lob a brick at him for using an iPad as a camera.

Just perhaps your neighbour may be suffering from the onset of a mental illness, paranoia, delusional state etc, his behaviour is not acceptable , ill or not,and your builders are being put at risk by his behaviour, and if it was me i would be walking off site.

Off an a tangent but in my day job I've been confronted by angry neighbours just because someone is having any work done on their house. Smiling at them seems to really annoy them or maybe its just my face.
