£12k spent to make their garden look like a smoking area, firepit and furniture most likely unknown brand bought from Temu, no doubt fake grass too, all the while being overlooked by every other house on the estate.
I know it makes me sound like an old grump, but who doesn’t consider having a bucket of water / hose on hand when doing anything with fire, cretinshttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14606869/...

We moved house because of our council neighbours. All started when the couple broke up. Mum moved out to live with her female lover and Dad was left to look after son who has ADHD. Dad's coping mechanism was leave 10 year old son to his own devices whilst he went to the British Legion until he was thrown out. Dad left for work early leaving the son to go to school himself, obviously this rarely happened.
The only style of clothing that appeared on the washing line was black or light grey tracksuit bottoms and matching hoodies. Dad and son wore them throughout the year whatever the weather, son always with hood up or in large Zavetti parka even in the middle of summer.
His idea of buying something for his son to do whilst he was out was a mini motorbike. Cue the son bombing up and down the local streets without a helmet on. Police arrived soon after and bike was never seen again. Next sensible purchase was a BB rifle. Son and his friend now start shooting at passing cars from his bedroom window whilst Dad is asleep. A short while later police armed response arrives and Dad gets shock of his life.
The garage wall in the garden was covered in son's graffiti tags and the garage window was smashed by a football, but left broken for months even though Dad was a builder.
During Halloween Dad would buy the largest fireworks he could find and set one off every five to ten minutes. They made young children cry and set car alarms off.
We wanted to report matters, but were told we couldn't do this annonymously so Dad would know who did so. This was not the ideal situation as he was very aggressive and just strung a load of profanities together when he didn't agree with you.
Son decided to have a barbecue one evening when Dad was at the British Legion. Ten foot high flames were seen from their garden. Fire engine and police arrive and son is taken away. Not long afterwards Dad and son arrive accompanied by the police. Dad shouting to his son that he did not like being asked to leave his pint whilst watching the football or words to that effect that were slightly more off-colour language.
When son started bragging to his similarly black Hoodrich ensembled friends in the back garden about ketamine and who he was buying it from we decided enough was enough.
Just after we moved there was a large heath fire nearby and son and a few of his friends were caught on CCTV and arrested.
The house move was the best thing we ever did. Peaceful street and fabulous new neighbours.
That’s a truly sad read for all involved The only style of clothing that appeared on the washing line was black or light grey tracksuit bottoms and matching hoodies.

I was in Iceland (the supermarket, not the country) picking up a bottle of sugar free Vimto - the big bottles are cheaper than anywhere else, conscious of cost, sugar free, am I not council???. Anyway, there was a hippocrocopig at the till next to me, complete with sunflower lanyard with vape attached with a huge trolley that was piled high with the Iceland own brand super cheap frozen meals. The 80p frozen lasagnes, £1 12" pizza and the like. By the time I got through the till half her trolley had been put through the till and she'd already racked up £160....At least £300 in cheap highly processed 'food'? Council.
During Covid I parked up on that particular Iceland car park to have my dinner - as everywhere else was closed and I spend most of the day driving between sites a van dinner was the best I could do. It was a nice day so I had the windows down when I heard a voice screaming round the corner, 'COME HERE YOU STUPID f
kING OR I'LL SMASH YOUR fkING FACE IN!!!'. Fully expecting two pissed up grown adults to come round the corner I was surprised to see a skanky looking mum dragging her child, who can't have been any older than 5 or 6, behind her. Lovely area.

Im with the council on this one
Being with the council = not council.t like this is that if the council did not act and therefore condone it; there would be all sorts of variants popping up. In the blink of an eye, some scuzzer will have a 50ft pond with a crocodile in it.
Thats why there's rules and regulations.
It looks crap too
