I think one of my neighbours may be a hoarder, or otherwise in need of support. We moved into the street about a year ago. I assumed the house was derelict. Dirty curtains always drawn, weeds everywhere, no curtains upstairs and disable crap piled high. I never saw any signs of life until one day I noticed a man sat on the front step next to a wheelchair. Since then I occasionally see the front room curtains open. The man appears to be using it as a bedroom. A bed is visible, a Christmas tree, and more piles of 'stuff'. The house is so rundown. I don't really think it is fit for human habitation. I don't want to interfere but I am worried he is not managing and don't want to be a bad neighbour if he need serious help. I am considering calling the council but not sure if this is the best way to go.
