Suggestions please : re nextdoors mess !

learningeveryday

Please can anyone help at all ??

(Not really moneysaving, but this is the only place I can think of putting it !)

For 8 years now we have put up with nextdoors "mess".

Neither of us you would class as in the weatlhy bracket but we have have decent/smart tidy houses - apart from nextdoors.

I admit to being a bit of neat freak, but would never dream of leaving me house in the state that they do. We are talking rubbish bags that have been left there since november weeds/general street litter/very untidy garden dirt etc etc etc. They also have four wheelie bins on the drive, which we politely asked them to put at the back of the house, when they first moved in(which is where all the bins in the street are kept) and they refused.


PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think the council can enforce anything unless there is a real issue of either health and safety or the rubbish is excessive or garden excessively overgrown and encroaching on neighbours etc.

Is it a council property?

I would contact the council anyway and just ask if there is anything they can do re enforced cleanup, it can't hurt and they may be able to give better advice than a forum.

Contact the council and say you've seen rats - they must act on the problem if there's vermin involved.

they will send pest control out and they will see there has been no rats. we had this problem before in our flat as the upstairs tenant littered up outside the flats. We DID actually have rats living in his garage on our drive and the council still wouldnt do anything to make him tidy it up!

maybe ring the councils environmental health dept and see if they can help
