At what point do I get worried my neighbour (whose name I don't even know) isn't on a long holiday and make a welfare call?

    If you are worried enough to ask the question here you're worried enough to make a welfare call.

    Call it through to police on 000 - it might not seem like enough of an "emergency", but it is something that gets organised via 000. Don't worry you are wasting police time, they do a lot of welfare checks and there is almost never something actually wrong, but some of the time someone has fallen and is lying on the floor in desperate need of help and organising the check saves their life.

    Trying to not become known as the local curtain twitching nutter. Maybe she does this every year or two? Argh.

    To become the local curtain twitching nutter (CTN) you need to be calling in repeatedly, probably for multiple neighbours. A real CTN calls 000 weekly as a minimum, but if you are properly commited to it requires multiple calls a day.
