Items dumped in front garden?

callmechar

A house I regularly walk past with my dog is such a state. They have carpet and all other sorts of rubbish in their garden. Its disgusting. Any idea who I should report this too? Its not flytipping, it's in their garden

If you dont like looking at it, just find another route for walking.

Nothing you can do beside keep your nose out
You could call the council but if its their house nothing they can do

True but only up to a point.
If it becomes a health hazard due to rats etc., then the council can take action against the property owner.

Do you have a car or a van? Maybe you could offer to take it to the tip for them?

It's not far from my house and it really brings down the area. I am concerned about rats etc, there is all sorts if rubbish there. It's an eyesore and possibly health hazard

contact the council. they will send someone out to have a look. If they think its particularly bad they will issue a notice.

however, councils offer a free bulky item collection service to stop this kind of thing. You can find the relevant details on their website.

nothing wrong with caring about your neighbourhood

It is a real boon to have such people close by. Next time you have a bulky item to dispose of,dont bother hiring a skip or calling the council. simply drag your wares round to their garden in the dead of night and dump it.

Is it a council or HA property? If so, they will be in breach of the tenancy agreement, which requires that gardens must be kept tidy.
If it's privately owned, then nothing you can do unless it's a public health issue.
Ask your councillor to take a look maybe?

I can't help but think of that TV programme, "Keeping up appearances".
