Neighbor dispute, PH solution needed!
Discussion
Not long after christmas my next door neighbors dog decided to make its self a nice hole in the fence panel. Since then its been coming in ripping up the lawn and using it as a toilet. I told my neighbor to fix the fence as it is his property (well the councils at least), he did this with the top of a old computer desk. As you can guess this was as good as a chocolate fireguard and has kept coming in, unfortunately I'm always at work to chase it out. My wife won't chase it because shes scared of said dog, which also jumps at the patio doors leaving nice muddy paw prints.
It has since got to the point that most of the grass is gone and I won't let my daughter go in the back garden because of the crap in there. Every time I pull my neighbor up on this he will same he'll sort it, but never does. I'm now getting crap from my neighbor on other side because the dog has decided to go in to his garden via my garden, who just compiled to the police about "my dog".
Now the problem as got worse due to the high winds we had in cumbria and a tree felling incident on my part the fence has been wiped out. The councils been round and said they'll replace the fence, but that was three weeks ago.
What do you think my next step should be?

Get on to the council and push for a speedy resolution, citing any crime references, incident numbers etc that you can get hold of. In the meantime, block it from your side too, using any old desks, bits of wood or whatever that you have handy.
Three out of the four panels where taken out due to the high winds. The thing is he just puts his mutt out for a hour or so and just lets it do what ever it wants. I wasn't given a crime reference number, as soon as the officer said there was a problem with "my dog" I told them where to go.I'll give the council a ring first thing on monday, hopefully they'll get something in gear.
king dog in whatever means you feel like then claim self defence that it was a rabid man eating dog that went for you!!
put it in a burning paper bag and ring the doorbell 
class!

I infer that your neighbour's property is council-owned, in which case the council (or other Registered Social Landlord (RSL) if management has been contracted out) has a duty to consider this under its ASB responsibilities. You could investigate this route.What do you think my next step should be?
Alternatively, I am given to believe that a liberal dusting of powdered pepper is an effective deterrent.
