As some of you may remember from a few months back, I was trying to get a fence put up in my garden via the council (as there my landlords)
Well I've been trying as hard as I can to get this issue sorted and after hundreds of emails and phone calls…


Still NOTHING!!!

I had a rep from the council who came to look at my wire mesh fence today and he deemed it safe... It's rusted completely, has alot of sharp points on it, bent and just an utter mess.
It's a shared garden with 3 other tenants, 2 of which have young children that don't feel safe to use the garden due to a known pedophile that walks the alley on a daily basis.
There has been needles thrown into the gardens, I have found 4 in the last month alone, which I disposed off in a sin bin.
We've had property stolen such as a complete greenhouse, a water fountain and tools,
Yet they think it's all fair. I pay my own way and dont claim a single benifit, yet they dot want to help me out!!
I have been told by a numerous amount of people to go to my local paper and tell my story as they won't like the bad publicity and should do it, I really have started to give up with it all now… loosing hope in a way


Rant over :(

Ring up and 'report annonymously' that youre using the garden to work on cars as a business, they will soon be round to fence it off so that you cant lol

pete. get some wanted ads up in the local shop board to see if anyone is thinking about replacing their fence & you'll take their old panels away.. you get a cheap fence....

or the next time you get a bad cut, claim it was the fence & sue the council.
