    surely this must be a health issue. rats etc.

    go back to environmental health and tell em you have seen rats.

    some people have no thought for others.

    or you could phone the local scrapman and give him the address, (preferably tell the local gypsies you know where some scrap is, chances are it will disappear over night)

    good luck

    With fridges telling the council "kiddies" and "tots" are playing hide-n-seek in the fridges works a treat, every so often one of them suffocates themselves and councils don't want the liability of being told there was a hazard and they let the kiddies kill themselves....

    The councils wouldn't be liable as it is on private property.

    I wouldn't want to live next door to someone like this (I have in the past and I hated it!), but at the end of the day, it is their private property and so surely - unless there really is an enviromental hazzard such as rats - it is something that is their choice and that you can do little about?

    Ahh but it's health and safety and they respond surprisingly quickly if you try it - guess they don't want to risk it....
