If there's also a dispute about the fence, you can always get another one put up on your land. You may lose a few inches of garden to ensure that your fence doesn't touch theirs, but that's probably worthwhile isn't it?As I understand it, Whiterose has not 'made demands', but has requested - rightly so.WR is also happy to do the work at their own expense.I think they just want to know if this lady will pull away their ladder or sumfink.2 -

It’s all rather strange as we’ve only set eyes on them half a dozen times in the last few years and all of a sudden she has appeared out of nowhere ranting and raving at us because we are looking at sorting out the fencing. I guess they find it difficult when people move in and make changes. By all accounts the neighbours on the other side of them have been having a few issues as well.She may rant and look wild, but she's elderly and, well, she's a woman; she ain't going to cause you actual physical harm. Probably.
I’ve tried to explain but she just rants.
She does appear to be quite ‘physical’ though, which is a concern.0 -

The police are not there to deal with the neighbours lack of maintenance on their home.0 -
I don't think anyone is suggesting the police should be called? The original suggestion was to involve a community support officer, if willing, in line with his role here
Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) - College of Policing
to try and mediate and prevent the neighbour causing a possible breach of the peace over a minor repair issue which the OP would like to carry out.1 -

The PCSOs are paid the same whether you contact them or not.
If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.1 -
