We are subject to intense antisocial behaviour and harassment. It has been ongoing nearly ten years.
We want the police to attempt setting up mediation with our neighbour.
There are multiple issues, such as voyeurism with CCTV cameras for five years, intense verbal abuse, constant interfering with our property, eg removing defences against antisocial behaviour.
The police have told us that another separate issue of possible damage has to be taken by us to the civil courts.
As a consequence, the police (or possibly the neighbour) are claiming that mediation for all the other issues will only happen once and if that civil case on possible damage has occurred.
If it is the neighbour, this might be a way of getting out of mediation without actually refusing it.
Is that acceptable? Are the police correct and they can deny mediation on those grounds?
