Neighbour - wires on the street

10 replies

I have to walk along a certain road everyday and there is a Victorian terrace cottage type so no front garden etc door straight onto pavement .

The house has multiple Ariel's hanging over the front with wires loose and draped over the pavement at a low level . It's a total mess and a hazard .

Narrow pavement so pain for anyone with kids , pram , mobility scooter etc!

Would it be rude to knock ?

Do I send a note ?

Who would this be reported to?

The road is connected to mine but only a few properties along hence them being neighour but not same road!

That does sound annoying.
A house by us always has a cable going across the pavement charging their electric car, someone is definitely going to trip over it one day.

I would report it to the local council

The pavements belong to the council so any nuisances or dangers need to be reported to them.

I would report to the council.

We have a bit of an issue here with terraced houses and charging cables over the pavement. But hi-viz mats which cover them safely are appearing, and I don't know if that's spontaneous or if environmental services are having a word

Definitely let the council know in the first instance, and send photos.

Thanks ! Any specific departments ?

Try googling "fix my street" plus your council name. That's the way it's done where I am.
