To think he's so entitled?

So... CF entitled neighbour problems.
His gf has recently left him (a few months ago) and she used to drive him around as he’s banned.
Since she’s left he will walk to the supermarket (about 15 mins away), get a load of crates of beer for the weekend for when his annoying mates come over, walk all the way home with his shopping trolley and dumps it on the road outside our houses.
Every week a neighbour ends up calling the supermarket to report the abandoned trolley, and usually 5 days later it’s still not collected, so one of them will end up pushing it back.
CF neighbour even cuts the chain on the trolley so he can get his £1 coin back.
I am seriously getting the rage now, that a man in his mid 20s thinks it’s acceptable to do this every week and have the neighbours running around after him to return these trolleys.
He’s a bit of a muppet and the police are at his door most weeks, so no one will confront him.
This week our 75 year old neighbour ended up pushing the trolley back to the store, as it makes the road look an absolute state with abandoned trolleys dumped there.
It’s not fly tipping apparently, as I’ve tried to go down that route, the council won’t collect them as they are the property of the supermarket and the supermarket never ends up bothering to collect them either.

I'd give CCTV footage to the store in hopes they would ban him and also to whoever he rents the house off.

I would also do my best to stack the trolleys in his front garden when he's out or up against his door. Alternatively with a bit of help I'd dump them in his back garden.

Don’t think the stores are massively bothered. When I’ve mentioned in there they’ve just given me a customer services number to call.
It makes me laugh that whenever he sees me he dives back in his house.
I bumped into him in the doctors the other day and he hid behind a notice board type thing when he saw me.
Hopefully because he’s embarrassed about his behaviour.

Easy peasy. REPORT.

I'm not surprised his girlfriend left him.

MulberryPeony · 04/07/2019 21:42

Tie them to his front door.

bloodyneighbour · 04/07/2019 21:48

Yeah. He used to attack his girlfriend and we always had the police knocking asking if we’d heard anything.
He’s a lovely guy. Not.

Google the address to see if it is LinkedIn to a housing association. If not then just ring round and find out and then complain.

everyone assumes landlord can stop or control tenants actions - this is going to be even harder to do anything if section 21 is got rid of - & even if you do give a section 21 it can take over 6 months -at least to get rid of tenant & as for section 8 -the level of proof is set so high for antisocial behaviour that most don't even try because the courts will throw it out. even the bigger concerns such as housing associations can find themselves without teeth. As for finding which housing association a little hunt round the web should tell you what areas they have housing in - check each ones web page they may have some information or ring housing officers & ask - but they will have to have strong evidence to do something - I am afraid

He needs a bit of time on the naughty step Angry. Report to HA and ask them to speak to him about his antisocial behaviour. They will explain that his ASB puts him at risk of being evicted, and he is more likely to take notice of them than his neighbours.
We have a number of HA properties in the road, all lovely people apart from one house: aggressive dog, annoying kids, furniture piled up on pavement outside house - when this started to spill onto the road some of us neighbours emailed the HA and they sorted it out.

Pollywollydolly · 04/07/2019 22:28

If you ring the local housing associations and tell them you want to complain about one of their tenants, they will tell you if the address is theirs or not. When you find out the HA, then complain and keep complaining. They have a duty to deal with anti-social behaviour. Don't expect them to update you about their dealings with him because they have to respect his right to privacy, but anti-social behaviour is a tenancy breach, they can evict him, it's not quick though.
