"There is a lack of community in general compared to when I was a youngster I think.
Agreed"
I think ppl use that as an excuse to not get involved. Community spirit doesn't just exist, it's created, by ppl aka us..... |

Our nearest neighbours hate us because obviously we are a venue for parties and they don’t like the loud music..we were here first!! We don’t know any of the other neighbours though.

No. When we moved here we made a huge effort but it wasn't reciprocated so we just exchange polite "good morning/afternoon". If anyone new moves in we make a point of speaking to them though.
We do realise that it's possibly us who are the problem  |

Ours we get along with very well...probably because thrown a few vanilla parties and invited them...think half the community spirit we refer to was because most people lived and worked locally often at the same place so many knew each other very well....sadly it's not getting better with people travelling and isolating themselves at home more and more.. |

I live in a block of 6 flats and I have no idea who's even in 3 of them. Chat to the bloke opposite occasionally and also see him at work and the bloke below him just always looks depressed or stoned. |

Actually, I think it's just his natural expression - like the miserable equivalent of "resting bitch-face". |

There are 61 houses on my road, and we have a street Facebook page. We hold a street party every September, closing off our road, our local bobby pops along for food and a boogie (nice to see him to remind me what he looks like).
If dodgy characters are in the area, pets being stolen, parcels delivered etc, all goes on Facebook. There are also a lot of professional and tradesmen on the road, your neighbour is not going to do a botched job!

I have asked him to be more considerate - but he just doesn't care and continues to try and break his front door every morning by slamming it so loud which wakes me up every day!

They threw dog poo into our garden and against our walls, put nails behind our tyres, couldn't prove it but probably smashed my rear screen, drank loads and sat in the garden singing loudly until the early hours and much, much more. We complained to them and put up cctv which stopped it except the drinking and singing. Then they moved.
Do you rent?
I think you can seek advice from the council department that deals with this. |

Omg that's awful!
I guess slamming doors are tame in comparison.
Yes I private rent - I'm not sure who to complain to -and am worried about the repurcussions 
I think I need to live on beans on toast for a few months and save to move.
I just don't want any trouble - someone that doesn't care about making me exhausted every day is going to make my life difficult if the landlord gets involved.
I'm getting a lottery ticket tomorrow lol x |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Our main social circle is in the neighbourhood. We help each other.
In terms of my immediate neighbours and those I know them all - chatted to two (different houses) just this evening.
The young couple are the only ones who don't communicate or join in from the homes closest to me. They're also the ones with a full drum kit.

I’ve lived in my house a year, I don’t know my neighbours. My last two houses I did, we got on really well. When growing up we knew all our neighbours and would pop into everyone’s house for whatever reasons. I remember my mum collecting my neighbour’s washing in if it was raining and she was out. A lot of them still live there, such a lovely community that I miss a lot |

We have sheep on one side of us
And we did have an awesome elderly couple on other
But sadly they’ve just both died within year of each other.
We loved popping over or them to us. They were ever so kind and thoughtful. They taught me what it is to be a private but supportive neighbour.
Their house is up for sale- I do hope we get some new neighbours with great personalities again

Well one of my neighbours has a son that went to prison for armed robbery and other not nice things. His mum is an absolute psychopath who I had words with when I first moved in whilst secretly and silently shitting myself as I tried to hold my ground! Now though I get in with her great. When that guy I was infatuated with blew me off not Xmas just gone but the one before she came in and cleansed all the rooms in my house that he had been in and gave me healing crystals. Still hands down the scariest woman I have ever met and I don’t scare easy. |

We have nice neighbours, always say hello and help each other out if needed, but were not social. Like the OP, I was raised in a socially derived area with people from different cultures. We were all in the same boat trying to get by and make the best of what we had and shared what we had. My own personal view, is that mind set slowly changed from the late 70's early 80's when Thatcherisum flourished and we became more aspirational in our desire for wealth. I not complaining, I had the same aspirational attitude and have done well out of life. I feel that as a society we have become more isolated from our neighbours and also as a nation less empathetic to fractions of society that are less fortunate than ourselves.

I live in terraced houses right in the middle of another 3 houses on either side I talk to my neighbors but wouldn’t go knocking on their door enough to borrow sugar or something. When I was younger we had a lovely little old lady who lived next door she was like a gran to me and I called her nana

There are 61 houses on my road, and we have a street Facebook page. We hold a street party every September, closing off our road, our local bobby pops along for food and a boogie (nice to see him to remind me what he looks like).
If dodgy characters are in the area, pets being stolen, parcels delivered etc, all goes on Facebook. There are also a lot of professional and tradesmen on the road, your neighbour is not going to do a botched job!
Nice
South London too. Sarf Larhden. Posh bit though, eh?
Not as posh as some. you could have a bit of Brighton rough to lower the tone.
That wouldn’t be me though, of course, because actually I’m not. Hang on, you sure that’s not North Streatham? "
There's a north Streatham?!! |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
How would your neighbours describe you?
We can't expect community if we don't make it.
One set of neighbours, our 'difficult' family, would describe me as the interfering old spinster. Others as the safe place to leave their children or parcels and keys.

Only 2 neighbours, both middle-aged couples with grown-up children - both husbands are loud-mouthed bullies who I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire. One wife is a snotty cow, the other acts like a fishwife. Thankfully the dislike is mutual |

Yep we have great neighbours. We aren’t in each other’s pockets, but we look out for each other, regularly chat and have fairly regular get together for drinks and stuff a few times a year. |
