Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, has welcomed the recent announcement that Wealden has taken the top spot for the ‘most peaceful neighbourhood’ in the country.
New research by Compare the Market has looked into the most common neighbour complaints in the UK, as well as the main areas for these complaints.
Wealden has been deemed the ‘most peaceful neighbourhood’ in the UK, with Wealden District Council averaging 10 neighbour complaints a year. In comparison, Compare the Market said Manchester City Council averages more than 12,000 annually.
The research shows that UK councils collectively receive an average of 190,181 complaints a year about ‘nuisance neighbours’, which is a complaint every two minutes and 46 seconds.
Nusrat Ghani said: “It is fantastic news that Wealden has been declared the most peaceful neighbourhood. Wealden continues to be a safe place to live with consistently low levels of crime and with great community engagement. I continue working with Wealden District Council and Sussex Police on ways to tackle anti-social behaviour and I am pleased our officers remain committed to ensuring they have visible presence in Wealden.”
