damp. Is there likely to be any truth in this and will a concrete floor be
better than the existing dirt?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Does your wall along the alleyway receive sunlight while theirs is perpetually in the shade? That would make a big difference.

I would cover the alleyway mud with a fairly thick plastic (like 10 mil) (meaning 10 thousandths of an inch thick) and see if that changes things.
