Oh, I see. Fingers crossed. smile

Thanks folks.

jings - it's the councillor hoping that the council employees are going to get on with it! .....previous experience?

But if they don't, I now have another council contact for someone more friendly than the woman who has supposedly been dealing with this, who doesn't contact me at all.

About time too. Good for you, Alie. Nobody should have to put up with what your neighbours have put you through. sunshine

Sounds good! smile

Not sure why the council needs to live in hope when they are getting contractors in to sort it out though. confused

I remember your problems with that Allie I do hope it will all get sorted soon.

I've got plenty of 'before' ones!

Alie, I am so glad that there is at last some light at the end of the tunnel. You will have to post some before and after pictures! flowers

I know I posted before but I can't find the thread now....re my efforts to get something done about the ivy, brambles etc....I have now just had an answer via the councillor from the SODC, who set the neighbours a deadline of Jan 2nd to sort it:

She says they now say
"I can confirm that the notice has now expired and we have scheduled contractors to begin works in the week of 27th January. I will be visiting the neighbours on the first day of the works to answer any questions and warn them of the increased noise to be expected during the clearance."

Cor!
But she adds 'We live in hope'........
So do I.
