trentk69 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Has anyone got any ideas on what to do about our next door neighbour's back garden, as it has not been maintained in the two years that I have lived at my property, and it is literally an overgrown jungle there now. The garden needs a lot of work to bring it under control, but not only is it an eyesore, but it is now a home for feral vermin (foxes etc).I think the property is unoccupied or I would have tried talking them, but there must be a way that the council can do something to ask the owners to clean it up?Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10825-its-a-jungle-out-there/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmora Man Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I would add that we had this problem - where the property concerned where the freeholder was the council with two flats, one owner occupied and the other a council tenant. It took two years to get any attention from the council, they did very little. In the end the tenant and a friend did some tidying up - but it wasn't maintained thereafter and we're back to square one. The council may be a little more forthcoming if they don't have to bear any cost?

legalbeagle Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Try to convince the owner to take part in the Landshare movement and see if someone takes it on?
