I live in a new build and I am at the end of the 'emergency' exit, with three other houses to the left also attached to it. From my garden, I do not have any overgrown plants or trees and nothing from my garden is affecting the walkway. My nightmare neighbour has text asking for me to contribute to getting a gardener to cut down the trees from her garden overhanging into the shared walkway (she has so many, I have already had to fork out to have them cut back as the leaves constantly fall into my garden, I have to use a leaf blower on the grass at least twice a day!) and has said that I need to contribute to the cost. The other two houses next to her have agreed to contribute because they have plants and overhang, whereas I am at the end so only my garden gate is connected. There is a huge garden at the back which overgrows, but I do know the home owner so can ask them if need be to tidy it up but I am not agreeing to contribute towards the cost because it is their job to cut back their own trees etc.
She has stated that I am wrong and must legally contribute to the emergency walk way, yet there are three parking 'spaces' outside our homes which she and the two other houses have claimed as their own because they are opposite their house. We have our own drive-ways and the spaces opposite are supposed to be for emergency use only. When I moved in she stated I was not to park there.
Just wondered if anyone could give any insight as she likes to claim it's the Law etc. I do not see how any law can make me pay for greenery from her overgrown garden?
Thanks
