The hedge is about 10-12ft high

It’s time to take action but I have tried the council and don’t know how to proceed. Over the last few years it has been increasingly difficult to get my neighbours to cut the hedge,  I’m not about to start going around and cutting it myself as I used to for the old neighbours (they were single women with young children), especially as these neighbours are more able to cut the hedge as there a 3 able bodied residence living there.

There are other difficulties too the whole of the garden is a total mess, the grass is over 6ft high, there is rubbish at the back of the garden from the house when they had a clear out.

The Grass and weeds are as high as the 6ft fence

The main resident of the house goes out until 12 – 1am and coming in and then starts to wash the pots, which are clanking around in a bowless sink, and then when she puts them away she makes no effort to quietly close cupboard doors. I know it’s not a lot of noise but its enough to wake you up and break your sleep. We have talked to the neighbours about it, but trying to get it to sink in, well all I can say is “short planks and PHC” lol

All this got reported to the council, who told use to fill in the neighbour nuisance diary, which we did over a couple of months, handed in, but noting ever come of it.

While I’m having a moan about the council I have also tried over the past 5 years to get an illegal drain reported, I have tried to get in touch with environment health about a rain runoff drain situated 3 feet in front of my front door, which keep getting blocked with toilet paper and bodily waste (yes the brown lumps).  I know it’s an illegal because the sewerage maybe going into the wrong drainage system. Every time I try to speak to someone a environment health, they say it’s a housing problem and who just send a team out to temporarily unblock the stinky drain.

Another garden mess in the street that the council need to be doing something about is found via the Lincolnshire Echo’s website
