i live in a top floor maisonette with my 2 yr old DS. our downstairs neighbor is a young women with an 18 mnth old dd. she moved in a few months ago.
ever since she moved in she has never put her bin bags out on the collection day so they are always left to fester for another week, but now its got to the point of not putting her rubbish out for 3 consecutive weeks. she has stacked the bin bags outside her back door which is directly below my kitchen door. there are now 8 bins bags being ripped open by foxs full of food waste and dirty nappies, my kitchen is filling with flies as soon as i open the back door and the situation is getting worse each day.
two weeks ago she put a bin bag in her front garden which was ripped open by foxes. she has left this rubbish festering in the garden, blowing over other neighbors gardens. three other households have to walk down the pathway next to this. including her dirty sanitary towels which are now on the pavement.
for some reason she has chosen not to clean this up so i contacted the council who have contacted her, she has still not cleared up the rubbish.
Ive now had enough. i don't want to cause neighbor wars but why should i have to keep my doors and windows closed because of the smell and flies.
i don't know the best way to solve this she is not very approachable.
do i ask her to put her rubbish out reminding her of collection days?
do i contact my landlord?
do i just go ahead and report the dirty cow to environmental health.
AIBU?
