Our neighbours (on one side) are horrendous, and seem to be getting worse all the time, and I just can't understand it.
I know where it all started, I went outside one day as I could here a scrapping noise by my front door to find the neighbour digging a trench right by my front door, so I quite calmly asked what he was doing. He told me he was building a wall! So I said, Ooh sorry but you can't build it there, that is my garden. He replied that it wasn't. So still being nice I said, I am more than happy for you to come into my house and measure how far from the front door that diving wall is then if you do the same in your house I am sure we can work out exactly where the divide is.
He however took it upon himself to carry on and built this wall on my property (I had also explained to him that if he did it would have to come down as our new porch (part of the extension that had already passed planners) would be built right there) He built the wall with reclaimed bricks that were a totally different brick than our house!!
He lives in a housing association house, I contacted them and they weren't really interested, until they came and saw it. They sent him a letter telling them he had 4 weeks to remove the wall. In the meantime my builders had been given permission to remove the section that was holding up the digging of the foundations for the porch. 3 months later he still hadn't taken the rest of the wall down, which was now in front of my porch, the housing association told him yet again that he had to remove it. He did he smashed the whole damed thing into MY garden!
Now I hate confrontation, so I still stayed calm and next time I saw him, I said that we would be happy to use the rubble under the drive we were having done to save him the trouble of getting rid. That very day he moved it (obviously the thought of us getting use out of it didn't impress him)
Next we get a letter from the housing association saying that we can lay the drive until they have come to inspect, he had only told them that it wouldn't be long enough and that our cars would overhang the path!! I drive a people carrier and there is still oodles or room both ends!!
Since then, we get rubbish thrown in our garden ALL THE TIME they leave bags of rubbish pilled up against the porch, they have moved their wheelie bins (which they always kept at the back of the house) to the front and have them right by the wall so they overhang into our garden, they also keep leaving the lids open (what a pleasant smell in the summer)
They reported me for working self employed, they obviously didn't think I was registered.
Beer chucked over our windows, glass smashed on our path, the list goes on and on. The funny thing is I have never retaliated (it isn't my way) I just keep thinking, let them get it out of their system and it will stop.........
It hasn't yet!
