My elderly neighbour went into a home about four years ago. Since then the house has been empty.
The neighbours relative keeps Guinea pigs in the garden but only comes once a day usually late at night, last thing to clean and feed. She lives less than 5 mins away.
The garden is totally over run with bind weed and brambles which are coming into our garden. We laid a new patio last year and put in new fence, even replacing fence that wasn't our side because it was in such poor condition.
I did approach the neighbour about making a contribution to the fence but was told she has no money. I carried on because little point in trying to enjoy my new paving area with one side rotten and collapsing.
Now we are getting rats from that side, obviously brought in by the rodent food and overgrown garden. My cat is doing what he can to 'help' but obviously it's not ideal!
I have asked the neighbour when she comes over what she intends to do, have even offered to help clear but nothing ever comes of it.
