The council have written to the row asking them to move them but they can’t enforce it so have said there’s nothing more they can do...

If it's your land, tell the council that they are trespassing if they go on it.
In reality you need to find an alternative place for the bins, that is agreeable to everyone.

Put your bins on their land?

Well their neighbours bins are currently in a shared access alleyway, so you mean to suggest putting the OP's bins in her neighbours gardens? Presumably the reason for a shared access alley is because of gated access so do you propose the OP scales her neighbours garden fences to leave her bin in? The OP also seems to suggest multiple neighbours doing this so for equality, should we suggest the OP should climb over one neighbours fence to deposit her black bin and then scale the second for her recycling bin? I guess she needs to ask them nicely to put them out for her so the bin men don't miss them (unless she plans on scaling their gardens frequently to take the bins out).

Or perhaps we could leave them outside their front doors so they could potentially trip over them whilst leaving their houses, if they have steps it's an even better lesson, haha that would teach 'em!

If you've nicely asked and they've refused and ignore the letter from the council just start moving them yourself. Failing that stick a note on the bin that they have a "right of access" not the right to use the land to store bins.


You won't make any friends, but technically it sounds like they're in the wrong here.

There are ways to make wheelie bins less wheelie.

Sometimes the lids get stuck.

Presumably - We could go back and forwards forever using the word presumablythe reason for a shared access alley is because of gated access- There may or may not be a gate so do you propose the OP scales her neighbours garden fences to leave her bin in? Empty bins aren't all that heavy The OP also seems to suggest multiple neighbours doing this so for equality, should we suggest the OP should climb over one neighbours fence to deposit her black bin and then scale the second for her recycling bin? sounds fairI guess she needs to ask them nicely to put them out for her so the bin men don't miss them (unless she plans on scaling their gardens frequently to take the bins out). She could - but the stench will bother the neighbours first if she doesn't

Or perhaps we could leave them outside their front doors so they could potentially trip over them whilst leaving their houses, if they have steps it's an even better lesson, haha that would teach 'em!

She could brick them up.... it doesn't prevent access but it does give the inconsiderate neighbours a problem.

I read this earlier and my opinion for what it's worth is if they are being left on collection day then as much as OP may not like it in the grand scheme of things sometimes it's best to just wave this away as sometime in the future you maybe in need of a favour

If however the bins are left;; week and depending on council 2 weeks and it's a right of access only then I too would be miffed and if after politely asking them not to (dependant on what specifically the deeds say of course) they would be moved to their front yard.
If the council have given them bins which they have no way of putting on each of their property then I believe the council have bin storage stations
Just because they have no room it does not mean they can park them anywhere , especially in summer . If they are not outside their house how the hell do they wash them out ?

I would not want someone else's smelly bin on my property ..simples

The big fat red line means nothing, so it is unsurprising that they told you to get lost!

You need the WORDING of the deeds.

It is your land, but as with typical terrace houses they will be entitled to access down the alleyway and across the back of the houses.

You need to show/give them a copy of the WORDING bit which will say something about right of way. This obviously does NOT mean storing bins there.

Just tell them politely (tea and cake) that they are more than welcome to use the access to their gardens, but they cannot store their bins on your land.

I'm assuming (given how narrow end alleyways tend to be) that the bins are in the way, and it would be a pain getting a pushchair past them?

The council will do nothing, because UK councils do not operate at a level necessary to maintain a First World country. If you officially complain to the council or police about a neighbor, you must declare the problem when selling your property, which may cause a loss of thousands.
One of the reasons why we are the least civilized country in the First World, and thats's not including Brexit.

The posters saying she should suck it up and get used to someone else's rubbish bins on her land, give us your address and we'll leave our bins on your land. If you complain, we'll throw your selfish advice back at you.

Tea and cake doesn't work with thugs. They see it as weakness, and get worse.

OP, next time they are on your land record it. Set up cameras, or do it on your phone. Call the police, and notify them that there is an intruder on your land, you have a child and you feel threatened.

You could call the local neighborhood team, but they are usually the muppets of the near to useless police force who will spend a lot of time telling you what they can't do, and then do nothing.

You've then got to live with the neighbors. They may do nothing more, or it could escalate.

The easy answer may be to say nothing, refurbish the house, install a gate on the alley and move.

I really wish there was an easier answer to neighbor problems, but like I said we just don't have the policing or councils to maintain civilization in this country.

Such an entrance! Please bless us with the light of your knowledge, oh enlightened one. What stupid advice we have given!

Yeah, what a silly response! Tell them Phil, show us just how obvious it was.

Oh well that's a f***ing fantastic idea isn't it. We record the neighbours on shared access they are entitled to be on and call the police to report an intruder. Sorry, but for flying in to this thread mocking the other responses, this is, hands down, the stupidest f****ing suggestion I've ever read.

For calling the police on them for being in an alley they share with you?! I have a feeling they may say f***ing something.

Well what a fountain of knowledge you've been Phil. Your suggestions of calling the police on the neighbours and moving house have been of great help to the OP and to everyone that has had the privilege of reading them. I've literally been made dumber reading that. Thanks
