Neighbour not replacing fence

I don't see myself as being unreasonable - like i said i've just paid a lot of money to have my fence (as stated in the deeds) to be replaced. this is his side (as stated in the deeds) so i assumed that he would need to replace it. unreasonable? i don't see how.

u call me an arrogant dog owner? how? i came on to ask for advice as to whether there was a legal requirement for him to replace his fence that has been damaged to stop his children (who are partial to being nosey in my garden and before you say i have nothing against children as i also have young children myself who would not go wondering into other peoples gardens) coming into my garden and to stop my dogs going into his. dogs are naturally inquisitive and i would have thought it would be 'allowed' to let the dogs into their own garden without me having to have them on leads to stop them going into his garden.
I don't see why i should have to pay for and erect (as i know he wont just to be awkward like 2 years ago) if i do erect a fence i will have to do it along side his which will of course then mean he will take his down and low and behold have gained an extra few inches of garden. now i know that doesn't sound like much but its just extremely frustrating!!

It's very annoying, isn't it
We were in a similar position a few years ago.

Do your neighbours own the property? In our case it turned out that next door was a council house and we, eventually after a long battle, got the council to put up a chain-link fence.

just sitting here wondering whats the point in having deeds of convent about whos fence is who's as there's no legal obligation to repair/replace :-/

Owning a boundary is a good thing rather than a bad thing.
It means that if you want to put up a fence you can do so on the boundary rather than lose a few inches of your own garden.

Owning a dog comes with a lot of responsibility. Keeping them safe and other people safe from them is just one of 100's. Sounds like you should not own a dog

i am deeply saddened by the amount of negativity and critism on this thread. I really don't have the energy to repeat myself again.
I have got the answer to my question. Thank you to those that helped

I'm afraid it's human nature and this by faraway not the worst section of this forum.

Once you have a consensus of opinion, the majority are usually right, in this case they were all right, if you chose to show your disagreement people will react more abruptly, they think there time to answer you has been wasted.

As you said you got your answer albeit in a double barreled form, hope the issue is resolved for the sake of your dog.

It goes against the grain I know, but how much to sort it?
For the stress and hassle, maybe just bite the bullet and sort it yourself.
