Neighbour difficulty - pls tell me what you'd do

[hmm42]

I have a weird neighbour. Try to keep my distance as she rings my alarm bells every time I see her. Basic history is that we have objected to her planning application (wasn't being difficult - it just was huge and would've cut out all our light to one side of house)- which then got refused. Got up this morning to find she'd nailed a load of rotten wood pieces - all haphazard to our side of fence - behind her trellis. We have responsibility for the fence. Looks atrocious. WWYD. Tempted to get rid. Sorry - know this is petty in grand scheme of things but don't want to start a war. Do you think this is just her being a bit thoughtless or some sort of weird revenge?

If you have responsibility for the fence then I believe you are well within your rights to remove the crap she's nailed to it.

I'd probably do it.

Thank you Flisspaps. I was hoping that might be the case. Just feel so petty doing that but it looks a right state. Might pick bits off gradually and claim it fell off.

I'd pull it off and look forward to her coming round about it.

Hmmm42, take a photo of it before you pull it off.
(Sometimes these things can escalate.)

Take a photo of it before you throw it over her fence (as long as you are certain it is her who has done the deed). Neighbours are a disaster IME.

Yes, photograph it and then remove the lot. Just because the fence is part of your garden rather than inside does not mean you have to accept it - imagine if she had drilled big holes in your party wall and stuck hideous bits of wood inside.

Who cares what her motive is, she's plainly a bit deranged.

Thank you v much for advice, I will take photos. It's all getting a bit scary really. She's always been horrid. Usually she corners me in the street to complain about my dh parking in front of our own house - perfectly legally, nowhere near her house. Her reasons - she can't see all the way down the road when she reverses out of her drive and her daughters have nowhere to park when they visit. She mentions this every time I have the misfortune to bump into her. Last time I snapped a bit but don't think I was too bad. She also complains if we have a weed in our garden as the seeds might blow over to her garden. But was a bit taken aback with latest scary episode.
