We live in a Victorian building converted into 4 flats.
Deeds clearly show communal areas which include designated bin collection area.
So we have duly placed our bin there. Unfortunately this has caused a problem with the new neighbours on the ground floor as they seem to be under the mistaken impression that the land belongs to them.
Even though I have shown them the deeds and had confirmation from the management company that it is a communal bin area, they say they don’t understand (there is a language barrier), are refusing to allow us to put our bin there and wheel it over to the pavement at every opportunity. This is a problem because it’s an finable offence to put private refuse bins on a public path and since the bin has our number on it, we could potentially be slapped with a penalty if we can’t prove it’s the neighbours doing.
It’s becoming a nightmare trying to keep things civil as they are becoming increasingly unpleasant. Unfortunately I think the heart of the problem is that they honestly believe that it is private land and that I have no rights over it.
