STOP neighbours bullying and harassing others. We have the right to live in peace at home

The Issue

Everyone has the right to live in peace in their own homes without being afraid of being bullied or harassed by neighbours! This change will allow my family and I to feel safe when in our home and not scared. No one should be in fear when in the comfort of their own home. I am a full time carer I worry about the safety of my children. We underestimate the damage anti-social neighbours can cause. It's about time we took the problem more seriously. Bullying and harassment, especially when adults are involved, can be subtle, hard to pinpoint and consist of many separate incidents which can turn into persistent bullying when they are carried out repeatedly or over a long period of time. Being subjected to any form of unwanted behaviour from a neighbour can be described as bullying. It could take the form of constant harassment, verbal abuse, name calling or teasing constantly can be bullying if they upset you or cause you any distress. Serious cases may even involve threatening or anti-social behaviour. In some cases, neighbourhood bullies can be so subtle and their actions can become so regular that their behaviour can be overlooked. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT!!!!!!! Long term, bullying can cause mental and physical health problems, and affect your well-being. The Local Authority and Police are not doing enough! 100 signatures will allow this Petition to be heard at the Chair of Cabinets meeting at Lambeth Council and hopefully they will finally address this on going issue and put some reasonable measures in place. We all can't change the world but we can ALL play a part in a positive change!
