Neighbour From Hell Part 3
13:15
My neighbour is currently throwing junk over the rear-yard wall.
The junk includes glass bottles, broken garden furniture, a broken TV stand, and bizarrely a raw sausage.
I’ve called the police (though not 999) and have been told that they’re sending someone out.
I believe in zero-tolerance, but am not convinced this isn’t going to backfire…
15:00
A couple of police-officers have just visited.
They asked what had happened and had a look at the pile of junk. They then tried next-door but she didn’t answer, so they came back here and reassured me that the matter won’t be dropped until they’ve talked to her. She can be done for littering if nothing else.
19:00
I have just received a call from the Police.
Basically I was told that, absurdly, this isn’t quite covered in Anti-Social law since it involves no public property!
They will however come out and speak to her this evening. Though I doubt she’ll answer…
Update (Later in the week)
They’ve now tried a couple of times, but she has never answered. Surely they should have some greater power.
Hopefully Environmental Health will be able to do more, once I’ve submitted the log of the noise.
