Just make sure you don't accidentally damage the neighbour with a hammer

If you are going to write to the council, don't bother replying to the muppet that sent you the letter but the head of the Council. I would head it "complaint" as then certain procedures would have to be followed by the council. Enclose a copy the letters received and say something along the lines o...

Usually they will help you write the first letter and if your policy is with More Than they have online legal letters you can use.
