Comment	The police if they come will chap their door, but you will be told to contact the council as it isn't the police area, the police or housing association speaking to them will in most cases just add flame to the fire where you are then left as a part time prisoner in your own home as you really don't want the awkwardness, hassle, or at worse the fear of bumping into them outside. Their is measures in place but I'm not even sure if they are laws or just council rules, but the council will come round and have a listen and will probably recommend speaking to your neighbour, oblivious to why you contacted them in the first place. They do have actions they can take but even if they do for some reason they seem reluctant to enforce them. I lived in Maryhill years ago and had multiple problems with the people who moved in above me in the flats, we contacted the housing association as getting a sleep most nights for work the next morning was impossible due to loud music, loud TV, running up and down their hall (they didn't seem to have any carpets), and with them selling smack we had constant druggies out in the landing every night as they would not go to their floor as the lifts had cameras, so they would go to the floor above and walk down to buy their drugs then walk down again to get the lift smoking their gear in the stairs on the way down, the buzzer display screen was broke at 1 point so all night I had druggies out their nut buzzing my house by mistake. Needless to say as time went on tensions got higher till it came to a point my wife's friends said these people are the dregs of society but their is loads of them and we decided just to move as it would be better than a gang of neds stabbing me.
