Need some advice people.
What's the best way of dealing with a neighbour who has clearly moved their personal smoking area in their garden closer to our property
Weve been neighbours for over 10 years. Always got on well. Never really mixed but say hi etc and have a brief chat over the fence
Anyway we dont want to ruin that relationship but the smoking of weed has caused issues as we are having ti close our doors and windows as the smell is so strong it's actually making us feel sick. We are also due to welcome our niece ( wife hasnt been able to babysit due to lockdown) during the summer and we are concerned by the smoking of it.
I appreciate it's there own personal garden and what they do is entirely upto them... it's just with summer on it's way we dont want to have to keep closing doors etc each time he goes out in the garden which is basically every couple of hours a day ( hes house husband) [Post edited 18 Apr 2021 21:43]

Can't say i'm surprised the weed smoker is also a 'house husband' |  | | |

as long as he is being issued with the weed, there's not much you can do
it's when it becomes a problem that you need to act

Are you certain it is weed that is causing the problem? Not doubting you just asking. Ultimately yes once it is on their property than they can do what they like, but if it is inconveniencing you that maybe have a gentle word. Don't know your living arrangements but really wouldn't have thought that any type of smoking outdoors would impact you all. Having said that if it is then light a bonfire out the back of your place if a gentle word doesn't work.
As an aside, while I try to get on with my neighbours I have come to the conclusion they are all complete d!cks!!! We have fallen out with ours as I got a WhatsApp message over 2 smart cams I setup on my property. These have been in place for over a year, and the neighbours were informed. The WhatsApp msg was that they were overlooking their property and they were concerned about us recording their children (who btw are best friends with my kids)!!! What was implied really got my goat, until the following day that the same neighbours had guest over for drinks in their garden against Covid restrictions. |  | | |

I’m essentially a house husband in that I do all the fcking housework. Not really smoked weed regularly for some time now though.
To the op, empty yourself a three litre coke bottle, hack the bottom off it, grab a bucket of water, a lighter and some tin foil and sit in your back garden impatiently tapping your fingers on the bucket.

Ask him could he try coke instead, as the weed stinks. |  | | |

Tell Supt. Hastings that your neighbour is a major dealer with with links to OCGs. Recommend he deploys AFOs, and speaks to the CHIS.

He says it's the smell and without a doubt you can smell it from quite a distance even when they are smoking it outside.

"their property than they can do what they like", well no, not really. Even Class Bs don't qualify as being ok cos it's in your own garden!
I used to like a puff and am more than happy for people who still do. (I do still like the smell too as it goes, but that's neither here nor there).
But if you don't smoke yourself then any smoking is horrible to have wafting through your windows at home. My neighbour smokes outside and I close my bathroom window cos it reeks.
To the OP just have a civil word saying what you said here.
"Hello mate, how you doing etc. Just a heads up that your smoke is coming in my home. Can you do us a favour and maybe smoke down the bottom of the garden please?"
It's not hard and he's not about to argue given the nature.
If he then chooses to be a pillick about it then that's on him, not you. |  |

I hear you SB, but as I stated I don't know what the OPs living circumstances are. I've had neighbours who have been partial to a joint over the years but it was never strong enough to make us feel sick in our own home. Hence my qualifying question to ChrisMakin. | | | |

Hmm. Don’t agree jeera. They might have a postbox garden. Do you say the same to someone having a barbie ? A bonfire?
My view, let them crack on and close your windows.
If it’s all the time have a word, but otherwise live and let live. | |

We have had this problem with a neighbour who had finished a spell in Chelmsford, even with doors and Windows closed it seeped thru the extractor fan blades and stank out our kitchen.
I politely asked him to smoke somewhere else as it is illegal to smoke in communal areas, signs saying this everywhere, didn't need to get into what he was smoking. But that'd be slightly different to your situation. But perhaps you could leave it as your smoke is coming in our house, as though he's smoking ordinary cancer sticks.
Said neighbour has now moved. |  |

Ah, because I used my detective skills and sussed out from the OP that matey next door has moved his smoking location, which suggests it used to be somewhere else.
I assure you I'm no kill joy.
Unless it's constantly barking dogs, screaming kids, loud music, smoke, people, noise, any sounds whatsoever, traffic, birdsong...
I jest. I don't mind birdsong. | |

Just like Stokie you have gone all literal on my post! People can enjoy the freedom of their own property, and yes any form of drug use is an offence I was not condoning it. Equally the point of the OP was how to deal with it, I said to have a gentle word.
Aside from that, is there really anything you can do? | | | |

I did say I used to smoke a bit myself! I say a bit...
Yes, you are right, a gentle word would be the order of the day.
That or a hosepipe if it continues! | |
