Disagreement with neighbour over fence

Stick this up and see what they say
Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies0 -
I would say that taking your lock is theft.
Breaking the lights is criminal damage.
I doubt the police would care, but I would send a bill for replacement.
I would also inform the council that he has flytipped waste on the car park.0 -
It's his and the HAs so the OP should get permission off the HA if you want to be a !!!! about it.

How rude.
I am mearly pointing out that the fence is a party fence. It does not belong to you if someone else has paid half of it.
Also, you do not need permission to put up anything on the fence in the garden from the HA, new or otherwise, it was already there before the neighbour removed them !!!!
The sort of permission you need is when you start to make changes/adjustments to the actual inside of the property.:pLooking forward to the day I have nothing left to list on eBay0 -

The council said they can't do anything as it's been dumped on private land. The street warden apparently (according to him) told him there's nothing wrong with him dumping it there but that several of there neighbours want it removed . He hasn't bothered removing it though and it's been two weeks.0
