first it was a second handrail, thats fine, as long as i can get my pram down the steps and the huge wheelie bins when its put in. ( we share a path btw)
council/social services peeps said no its pointless, a pair of handrails to make getting up and down the steps easier need to be close together. to make room for the bins to be taken down means they'll be too far apart meaning they are pointless, a nuisance and a waste of funds.
the neighbours said oh take your bins down the grass, they have assisted collection so they've never tried taking a monster wheelie bin down a 45 degree slope
i had to do it when they decided the steps needed cement repairs on bin day ( it could have waited untill the following day) and we cant have them at the bottom of the steps because theyll be on the pavement not the garden. then there was the grass clippings. had a gardener come to cut my front lawn because it had grown rampant
( he did a damn good job btw 
) and they've moaned not because the garden was a state but because in the wind a few grass cuttings ended up on there weed patch
( it is just a patch of weeds) complaing 'oh there'll be so many weeds now all those seeds and roots will sprout into a weed jungle ' not their words btw but you get the gist. anywhos i pretty much ignored it as i was too busy planting some stuff in the freshly cleared beds. and they start chucking slug pellets here there and everywhere. i asked them not to because just feet from our doorstep is a protected woodland, they moaned about the slugs an oh we have to kill em now etc etc. ive already found a couple of dead birds in my garden and we do have hedgehogs sometimes. ive explained this to them but they dont care
not to mention the fact my little one likes to play in the dirt and will see these blue/green things as something new to play with now theres the new security light. got nothing against them but its right out front, pointed straight across the top of the shared path bright enough to stun anything and goes on and off 10 plus times a night because of their bloody cat that i chase out my garden for £$%^& right there on the lawn! if i had a dog that did that id bloody well be forced to clean it up
its right next to my window and even with thick curtains it still disrupts my sleep. its like someone turning the light on in my roomthen they try to tell me you cant grow anything there, you shouldnt grow that, try to tell me to cut down MY trees then try and get the council to cut down MY trees. cut my hedge down that i want to grow an extra foot ( to 4 ft for a bit more privacy ie if there sat in there lounge they can see bugger all)
im tempted to get a whacking 6 ft fence and stick that up.
grrr!!!!!
ok thats better.
?
the light burnt out!
