    Yep the councils £6 is their half of a £12 post doesn’t cover a reel of wire or chain lol and what if the new neighbour kids run into the wire and get injured. 
    I think i might just plant more shrubs and bamboos move some around to create a border between us.
    No.......15 metres means you have a total of £180 to play with.
    Put a post every 3 metres = 6 posts. Buy a roll of fence wire, a hammer and some staples.
    £180 should be more than enough.

    Next doors kids running into the fence wires isn't your problem surely.I

    Why should my council tax pay for luxury fencing ?

    Seems to me that your challenge is getting your new neighbours to be annoyed with the council and not with you - Suggest you get them to talk to the council about it (so they experience the frustration!) and get quotes/put together a proposal.
