Harassment Over Garden From Housing Company
Comments

That sounds more like it from what one HA employee told me. Bunch of busybody tenants who spend all day informing on each other for any minor thing, expecting the state to intervene and run their lives for them.I would have thought housing associations would be far to busy to organise inspections of people's gardens. I suspect someone has made a complaint.
If the OP and her mum are clearing litter but so much more is being dumped it leads to a complaint, that must be pretty much a constant stream of rubbish being dumped. By one person? Everyone on the estate dumping something as they pass? Something sounds wrong somewhere.Been away for a while.0 -
@Running Horse: I lived on a estate and had the misfortune to have a garden that ran along the edge of the school - very busy path to the shops back through to the main part of the estate. Before I'd moved in I'd always wondered why the man didn't look after his garden but assumed that he was too busy looking after his disabled wife.
I discovered though that the grass didn't get mown because it was regularly filled with cans, packets, wrappers and all the other trash people think is ok to drop. The wall was about waist height and occaisionally at night the local hoodies used to hang out on the corner of my garden sitting on the wall.
It drove me mad. I'd go and pick the litter up regularly just so I could mow the lawn.
It was probably only my garden that got the litter because of the way the path went.0 -
Could you turn the tables on the housing company and ask them to provide a fence or railings for your mother's garden? Tell them that the constant littering of her garden by passers by is making her ill and upset. Collect all the rubbish in a black plastic bag and submit it to them as evidence to support your request.0

We have this problem too. We've now stopped picking it up to throw in the bins. We now throw it back over the fence. Im sick of it, Im not picking it up when I didnt put it there and they do it on purpose.Well, the street is a mess anyway so a little more wont hurt!:mad:Weight loss November 09-January 10: [STRIKE]13lbs[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]20lbs[/STRIKE] 27lbs! :j0

15 quid a fortnight gets me a gardener.......shock horror....It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
Why should they pay £15 a week because idiots throw rubbish into their garden?!?!?!
I know I certainly wouldnt!Weight loss November 09-January 10: [STRIKE]13lbs[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]20lbs[/STRIKE] 27lbs! :j0
