  • Really strong winds last night. The noise frightened the cat and kept me awake. A section of three fence panels damaged at the vicarage and two trees came down in my churchyard.

  • Zoomer, is your neighbour the owner of the property or is it rented accommodation, council housing or housing association. If your neighbour is the owner of the property it might be worth contacting your local Police Community Support Officer for some advice. If he is the tenant, I would contact the landlord or housing association direct to ask them to organise for the fencing to be repaired.

    Scott, that is very good advice. Also if he is a tenant of a Housing Assoc. he will probably have some wording in his lease that requires him to behave in a neighbourly fashion.

    Brumbull, what is SAF?

    Yep.  Not so much the heating as we can wrap up it's the fact that it's a combi boiler so no hot water.  image

    Scott. The neighbour is the owner and problems with him are historical, was going to wait and see if he knocks on my door this week to discuss the fence, if not was gonig to knock on his door with a friend.The panel is part behind the shed and is more of a problem for him than me. The local PCSO might be worth a try.

    Went down to the new allotment yesterday and most of the stuff/rubbish I'd piled at the top of the plot, despite being weighted down had disappeared, in the wind no doubt, retrieved what I could and started a new pile.

     

  • Going around with a friend sounds like a good plan of action. I'm sure you don't need my advice but for what its worth try to avoid being confrontational. Simply explain that his fence has been damaged in the stormy weather and you would like to discuss when he is planning to replace it. Be polite, annoyingly reasonable, yet firm. If he gets verbally abusive keep calm and explain that his shouting isn't going to solve the problem. If its his fence it is his legal responsibility to repair it. Walk away if he is unreasonable and seek advice on what your next steps should be.
