D*ckhead contractors burning wet leaves in the lockdown

[Lemond1fficult]

I'm basically here to rant.

Even though there's a lockdown, the woman next door is having her overgrown garden cleared, and the twats have just burned an entire (massive) garden full of wet leaves.

I went to the park for my exciting daily walk and came back to what I genuinely thought was my house on fire. I yelled down (politely) that my house was filled with smoke and he promised to put it out. Then I watched him haul a gigantic (2mx1m) mini-skip full of wet leaves onto it. I'm not normally shouty, but I stormed straight out there and had a massive go. I knew it wouldn't make any difference but it did make me feel a bit better.

He's apparently coming back tomorrow. Is there anything I can do??

Have a look at your local council's website see if there is an environmental health dept you can complain to - given the current situation many people are using their gardens more particularly the elderly so do complain. If that doesn't work I find a late night soaking of the said burning material makes it terribly hard to "catch" the next day

Unfortunately I'm in an upper
Maisonette so I don't have any access. Otherwise I'd do that as a bare minimum.

Unfortunately, the worse that seems to happen if you complain is that the householder gets a letter. And it's actually the contractor I want to get; he lied right to my face, and he's supposed to dispose of it properly but obviously couldn't be fucked. Not to mention the fact that he shouldn't even be bloody working in the lockdown.
