So I come home from a stifling hot day at work to find a sofa dumped in my back darden. I live in a block of flats so it is not a secure garden, but is mine and has a low gate and fence.
I rang the council up to inform them and was told that ai would have to pay for it to be removed as I have no transport to get rid myself! I was very annoyed and said that I would simply move it to a communal area as a) I cannot afford to pay to have it removed and b) I don't go out to work to pay for a lazy layabout to dump their rubbish in my garden. I was told I could potentially be fined myself for fly tipping as they couldn't prove it want mine! I went out to move it in a foul mood and was called over by some other residents to say that the tenant next door to me had dumped it there. I was livid as she has her own garden! I left it outside her garden and rang the council. Eventually got put through to a lovely lady who is going to arrange for it to be removed and write to the tenant involved. The neighbour is vile, constantly swearing at her kids, throwing rubbish and used nappies unbagged in communal areas and drinks cans straight out of her front window into the communal front garden. I'm so annoyed with her. She is the type of person who would happily shout and have a go at me in front of my 5 year old DS. I wish that decent, law obiding people didn't have to put up with this behaviour and people like her could be shipped off to their own island where they can upset each other without normal people having to suffer. I'm actually terrified to go out again now for fear of what she may do, we share a communal hallway and our doors are opposite each other :(
