We live on a small village green and the guy who owns it (two doors down) is horrible. There's a massive oak tree in the middle of the green which is currently dropping all its leaves. There is a gravel track across the green from the road to our drive, owned by the guy who owns the green, but my semi-detached neighbour and I have access rights. I've just swept up all the leaves on my drive and my semi-detached neighbours (they are elderly and have mobility issues so I do it as favour for them) and put all those leaves in my green bin which is now full. I've then swept all the leaves on the access drive into a pile just to the side of the gravel track and left them on the green. I've moved them as they are slippery and get stuck in my pram wheels and the elderly couple are unsteady on their feet so I feel it's a legitimate safety concern.
I'm worried the green owner will kick off as he's very aggressive to everyone in the village but I've only moved the leaves from one part of his land to another to make my access safer. It may also look to him like I've dumped all the leaves that blew onto my land back on to his green (which is not true but I can see it could look like that). I'm considering going out and bagging them all up just to avoid any conflict but at the same time I think why should I, they are his leaves on his land and I shouldn't be scared of him just because he's a bully.
AIBU - I should bag all the leaves
AINBU - it's ok to leave them
