Just a quick question incase anyone has ever done it, is it possible to move to a different quarter on camp because it is a sh*t area or is it only possible if your family is growing or getting posted?

Cheers.

P.S. It is at Marham if anyone is interested.
 
You can apply for a move at any time, but you will be bottom of the list and will have to fund it yourself.
 
Cheers for that, I'll weigh up the costs, apply to move and get a big van.
 
Forgot to add, they aren't obligated to move you either so you will need a good reason.
 
Moving house...!

Moving house...!

Makka Pakka,

It is possible to move quarters within the same area but as Downsizer says, you need a good reason.

I've done this before and I'd advise that if you have a good reason to move go and speak to your Service Family Support Officer (or whatever they are called at your unit).

They will show the options and if your reason is good enough, they will help support you.

The bad news is that at the end of the day, all they can do is ask Defence Estates ops/housing and if they say no it can get ugly!

PM me if you need more info

Hope this helps:PDT_Xtremez_30:

I've done it myself at a previous unit.

Mind you, that was when you could wander into the families office and have a chat with the nice friendly staff.

I should imagine you'll have to make a call to the allocations officer in your regional area DE office. It could be worth having a chat with your local DE officer beforehand.

Just remember to be polite!!:PDT_Xtremez_30:
Good luck.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I'll be speaking to the families support officer soon. We have some right sh*tty neighbours that have been doing everyone's heads in. My missus is early in pregnancy, we have a one year old too who's picking up the filthy language. We have complained but nothing gets better. Rumour has it that the two families in question are on their last warning, but its one of those situations where nowt ever gets done. I can just about tolerate it, but when I see the little ****s leaning. on my car kicking footballs at my fence, which ****es my dogs off, I feel like thumping them (but thats against the law). The missus is fed up and feels too stressed to battle with them, so I figure the easy option is to simply move to a less noisy area of the patch.

I'd hate to be pushed out of my quarter but we're fighting a loosing battle. I'ts doing my nut in. Why can't people respect others space? It really ****es me off.

Rant over for now
 
Its sounds awful.

I would suggest keeping a diary of incidents and put a formal complaint in even if you do get to move quarter, I expect you are already doing that though. You can't let the tw@s get away with it and make life a misery for the next family that move in.

Good luck. :)
 
Yes mate, sounds awful. Not fair on your family, especially if and /or when you go away.

Hope you get your move. Get padre/SSAFA involved if you have to, can't do any harm?!

Good luck.

You need to keep a record of the "offences".
Get someone to witness it if you can.
You can't get people turfed out on a say so.

A friend went through it. All the neighbours kept diaries which corroborated each others entries. When submitted to the relevant authorities it went a long way towards getting the problem family moved.

Get a couple of pipe-wielding Lineys to do a number on him at the Bowl one night, all it will cost is a crate of Stella/Strongbow/Guiness/, all 3 maybe. :PDT_Xtremez_30:
 
Hi MrsMakkaPakka here hubby got me to join as its me dealing with the probs and im ex service. Ive been keeping a diary and when i called the police and council etc.
The prob we have with asking neighbours to keep a diary to is the house attatched to them are best mates and are just as bad as them so the complaint is about both not just the one. Another neighbour has been to the police about them for the hassle they have had so that will back the case up.
Our house isn't attatched to theirs but the music was louder than my tv in the living room which is at the front of the house. Earlier on the noise was that bad it woke my daughter up who's bedroom is also at the front.
Like my hubby explained im 8weeks pregnant and i really dont need the stress from them at the moment lucky my midwife gave me a lot of support and would write a report for DHE for me for the medical side with stress etc.
When my daughter is down for her nap im shattered and its nice just to have a quiet lie down but i cant do that she's constantly screaming and swearing outside. The horror's aggrevate my dogs and shout abuse at them. This has been going on since Oct last yr. Fingers crossed were getting posted later on in the year
 
Just a update we had DHE and the families officer here in mid May. Things have gone from bad to worst hubby was away last week had the kids thinkin it was funny to kick the front door while i was watching tv and little one in bed, noise is gettin worst. Still keeping a note of everything. Had to see the families officer again last monday looks like DHE will be moving us and paying for the move too think the officer knew how angry i was the fact i was more or less shouting at him helped. Its effecting my pregnancy bump is 17weeks on monday and its brought on PND (post natal depression) that i had with my daughter and now having to see a specialised midwife. The docs, midiwfe and now SSAFA are gettin involved and hopefully will get a welfare report from SSAFA to help the case. Were hoping to get it sorted soon as now they are taking the p!ss and before i beat the sh!t out of them. Lucky got a few good mates here helping me out while hubby is at work and keeping me sane. Sorry for a bit of rant thought would keep people updated well not much has changed really lol
 
Hmm, there was a time when a complaint to the individuals boss carried some weight, if the bloke concerned has no control over his kids (or fails to exercise control of his kids) and shows scant regard for his service neighbours then surely it reflects his attitude to the service and life as a whole. If the tw@ is a JNCO or SNCO then he needs a damn good talking to: if he's an underling then he still needs a damn good talking to with the emphasis being on 'respect for others' and how this may have a bearing on future promotion - just 'cos he takes the uniform off it don't mean he's not a serviceman anymore and can drop all the responsibilities that come with it
:PDT_Xtremez_25:

I don't see any reason why you, as MrsMakkaPakka, shouldn't write a letter directly to the Staish complaining about the bloke in question - that'll get results!
 
I was in a quarter on a civvy estate once and we had a right chav family moved in by DHE. On the first night one of the tribe was returned home by the police for vandalising and all the parents did was shrug their shoulders. I was friends with some of the civvies nearby who had to put up with them and they were tearing their hair out so I gave them the Staishs name and address. Within 3 months they were gone, the Staish doesn't want the hassle and he/she will sort it most times.
 
Mrs MP, have either you or your husband spoken to your Service Community Support Officer? I'm not sure who that is at Marham but they are usually FTRS WOs with years of regular service experience and the ability to open doors that are closed to most of us.

He would certainly be a better option than SSAFA who, in my experience, are full of good intentions but are toothless tigers when it comes to situations like yours.
 
I had a problem with neighbours (not as bad as this) and involved absolutely everyone I could - civvy plod, raf plod, scso, chf clk, ssafa....etc etc and of course DHE.

Now, DHE have not got a very good reputation but it really does depend on where you are as to the support they give you but they have to follow their own procedures and if they don't then complain about them. Check the JSP thoroughly and be prepared to challenge them should you feel they are wrong or not acting correctly. Luckily the DHE at the time were good and after my strongly worded letter of complaint with attached emails, letters, evidence from all parties they warned them and then sent them a letter to kick him out of his SFA when it continued....he was saved from this because he PVR'd and fecked off anyway.

This sort of behaviour is very stressful indeed and cannot be tolerated. They can be kicked out of SFA and be given no rights to have one at that unit (I think)...so push all the way. This is probably a 'common' occurrence on a rough council estate but I would expect better from a member of the RAF and his family - perhaps I am naive but it makes my blood boil....

Very best of luck and best of health to you all.
 
Thanx for all the replies guys. Ive had the community officer involved it was him i saw again last monday. Ive had the council, civ police, council, enviromental health i think it is for noise pollution, midwife, now ssafa. Think a very stern letter to harry staish is now another route. He's raf next to us and ex army the other house in question who are on their last warning but nothing seems to be getting done about it. While i was writting last night they were out there making noise till gone past 12. I thought it was my daughter waking up this morning that woke me up nope it was next door's brat screaming even tho our windows were closed tripple glazing i heard it and it woke me up. All i want is it sorted out without having this sh!t especially while pregnant. Its making me really miserable a female Victor Meldrew im honestly never like this usually really bubble lass who loves life just want that back. Does anyone know if we can get a solicitor involved and also build up a case that way?
Thanx for all your help
