Especially as they also say there's a mature hedge along the same boundary.elsien said:
They haven’t said yet why the fence is a problem for the child.sevenhills said:Bigphil1474 said:Not sure I agree with that - the councillor may well agree that it is the neighbours fence and that the council can't make them repair it - doesn't mean the councillor couldn't persuade the housing office to install a suitable fence on the council tenants side to avoid the usual anti council headlines in the local rag.
The OP has a child, so that will be what makes the council put a fence up, if it's required.

OP here .. some of the vertical railings are loose (rotten) and there are nails sticking out. My daughter has had to pull these out, or the fence would be dangerous, to her 6-year-old daughter.
Luckily it's getting towards winter, so she will probably not be running around the garden now until next year.0 -
Your daughter can spend hours chasing people about the fence, or perhaps she can just fix it? She'd need the owner's consent, plus a few tools. Fixing might be the line of least resistance.WLM21 said:OP here .. some of the vertical railings are loose (rotten) and there are nails sticking out.

No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
