Bob the Builder is at it again

[fossyant]

Idiot neighbour is at it again.

Got up this morning and he's left a load of scaffolding and brick waste on 'common' land opposite my house. We are in a cul de sac and the land is next to his drive, about 20 foot away in fact, but between him and another neighbour. Do I leave it a few days, then fly tip report it if not moved, or just report it as I don't actually know where it's come from or indeed if it was actually him, but he is the only builder on the road, and likes to deliberately hiss folk off ?

Report fly tipping, he'll never say it was him.

On our road, if you leave anything metallic near the road, it quickly gets collected by the local "metal collectors". Perhaps tip off your local metal merchants - it will soon disappear.

Edit, the neighbour not the builder...
I suspect it will be moved asap.
Its easier to pick up if you have some room.


He maybe a pizz taker tho

Most builders know neighbours will soon pick up the phone..

I'd report it. He can argue the niceties with a magistrate if he wants to.

Your local council will have a section on their interweb to report it. I'd start there.

You could always just ask him what his plans are for it.

If the carncil fly tipping taliban ask him I'm sure he'll be more inclined to clear it up quickly, and not inflict his eyesore on the neighbours again.

I'm probably wrong but if he's a builder he may be either getting it prepared for uplift or maybe a delivery ready to erect scaffolding for some sort of repair rather than just getting rid. Ofcourse I could be very wrong which is why I suggested asking him.

 

[fossyant]

I'll hang on a few days. I don't speak to him as he has a habit of threatening violence, and I may just laugh. If its not moved in a few days I will call the council. TBH he apparently unloaded it from his van, where he could have put it in the other knackered van on his drive. A scrappy could make a fair few bob from it.

You could organize an angry mob

Either way, slapping it on public land for the neighbours to admire is selfish, thoughtless, and generally out of line. If he wants land to store stuff or he should use his own.

Fossyant is far too nice. I'd have dobbed him in within seconds of it appearing.,

Fair enough, but not all repairs can be made without cracking a few eggs and there seems to be a clamour to phone the cooncil at the drop of a hat. I'm not commenting on the current situation, but in general.

The chap could crack his eggs and leave the shells on his own land.
