Boundry fences between council and private house.

I stay in the council house.
House affecting me is let by a private landlord.
The back of their hut is falling into my garden, it poses a danger and could potentiall fall on someone.
One part of the fence has completely fell down.
Council do not 'deal' with boundry fences.
The tenant is at her wits end as well, she've heavily pregnant with 3 kids and a big dog, believe it or not the landlord is her uncle and he still won't fix the fence!
Is there anything I can do, don't really have the money to fix it myself.

When you say the council don't deal with it I assume you mean the housing department. Have you tried Environmental Health? If a building or structure on private land is a potential danger then can (as far as I know) force the owner to take action to correct the problem.
