To be fucked off and ask for help writing a notice to my neighbours?

[lasketchup]

I'll get straight to it and save the waffle for breakfast!

My gas meter is in the communal bin shed with 4 large metal bins. Not wheelie bins but the big huge ones about 4 foot in length and height. People keep dumping rubbish like mattresses, sofas, furniture and other things they can't be bothered to take to the tip in the shed! This means I can't access my gas meter. It's been off for two days now and I have a 2 year old!

Spoken to housing officer she sends out texts to residents reminding them to be considerate but it's still happening. She's sent out another text today and asked the cleaners to attend to remove the mattress but still waiting to hear if they will come out today! Apart from that there not much else the housing association can do!

I'm fucked off!! Had surgery on my hand on Thursday so I physically cannot move the stuff myself and it bloody heavy anyway so I wouldn't be able to.

It's cold, I need gas! I can't bath properly or cook. My daughter relies heavily on her bedtime routine to get to sleep properly (she's awaiting an assessment of ASD, Sen & SpD amongst other things) and a bath is a huge part of that! I've been doing the kettle thing but it's long and heavy and I have a bad hand.

Coming off the meter is not an option.

I'm waffling!

WIBU to write a passive aggressive notice to stick on the bin she calling the guilty neighbours insensitive cunts!?

Any suggestions on what to put?

No idea why it posted like that!!

Please be advised that Network are not responsible for the meters/utilitiy supplies including gas, electric, water, telephone etc etc, therefore I will not be in a position to contact National Grid to arrange for the meter to be moved, however you can arrange this if you wish and therefore should accept this as confirmation that Network has no objections to you having the meter moved.

I trust this clarifies the matters in hand.

Bet it wouldn't have been put in such a stupid place if would ever have needed reading by their staff!

Surely it's not accessible even when just the bins are there?

Who is responsible for the meter then??

I would ring the HSE safety line above to double check the position and see if they advise on next steps.

I would consider sending your photo to the gas company and asking them to confirm that the location of the meter meets current safety requirements. If it does not, then could they confirm what steps they will be taking to locate the meter in a more appropriate location.

As someone who worked for an electricity/gas supplier why is coming off the meter not an option for you?

From my own experience of living in rentals, coming off prepaid meters isn't allowed, it's in the contract. Stops tennants running up massive debts then buggering off.
