Discovered today that a neighbour has cut some large branches from a tree in our garden and shoved them behind a shrub in the garden damaging the shrub.


I have no issues with the branches being cut as they block light, and understand that the branches remain our property, but was wondering if we should have been advised that they were about to do it? The branches will need a lot of breaking/chopping before they can be put in the recycling bin.


The neighbour is someone I see almost every day, and have a good relationship with, so while being disappointed by their actions want to bring it up in full possession of the facts. Is it just a matter of politeness, or should they legally have given us some notice?

Just keep your foliage in order, anyone can cut overhanging branches etc if over their property.

My neighbour did it recently, no words exchanged about it - just the usual banter. He just dropped the cut branches over 6ft garden fence at nearest spot, if it lands on my flowers etc I'd regard it as tough.

If he's going to the trouble of addressing my responsibilities I can't expect him to remove the foliage or set himself up for any comeback from me if don't like where he drops it.

No need for legal considerations just keep your bush trimmed !

I love you lady don't give a fuck with the woman you saw

Cheers Kid, wasn't dodging responsibility - would have been more than happy to deal with it had they mentioned it was bothering them. Will let them know that that can be the case in future - win/win for both of us then, no damage to anything and no one getting annoyed.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
