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

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?

    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.
