A mother of two has taken to Mumsnet to vent her frustration over neighbours who refused to move their trampoline, which she claims has invaded her privacy and made her patio unusable.
The user, @Jynxed, said the neighbours' children 'scream, argue, shout and kick footballs at the fence all day long' and that the trampoline, placed against her fence, allows them to see into her kitchen window. She asked the neighbours to reposition it, even showing them how it overshadowed her patio, but they declined, citing a lack of space in their 80ft garden.
'When the kids use the trampoline they stand higher than the fence and stare straight into our kitchen window, and they used to call out to us all the time until we asked them to stop,' she wrote. She added that the noise makes her patio 'unusable' and that her 'well-being and happiness are being severely impacted'.
Commenters suggested solutions such as building a higher fence or planting tall bushes. User @dizzygirl1 shared a similar experience, calling her neighbours 'beyond selfish'.
