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.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
