    Thanks. Xxx

    it really would be a shame if someone reported the wall. My dilemma is that I am really the only one that it affects. So logically it would only be me.

    I'm imagining a very very big wall, but even if it's not surely they should have some consideration for you? And considering someone has reported you for driving....and we can only draw conclusions it was them, why shouldn't you report it 😉.

    You are of course right. I am just a bit of a coward and if I am really honest I am worried about what they may do in retaliation.

  • Rather than submitting a complaint, could you make a general enquiry that would highlight the building of the wall?
