I have just watched an American video
What do you think of households being issued fines if your garden front is not kept clean and tidy I think it's a good idea

Who would decide if your garden is neat enough? One person's mess is another's wildlife haven.

And what will happen if you’re having building work or a garden refurb and you’re front garden is full of bags of cement or paving slabs etc

Good luck with that idea 😂
You don’t get fined for shop lifting.
On a serious note what if you do have a very overgrown/ rubbish strewn garden and have no transport or money to pay someone to take it away. 🤷‍♀️

Oh Lordy, half our town would be in arrears. We had a commercial building burn down in our town a few years ago, and the standing burnt corpse of the building sat with a fence around it for over a year while the owner waited to settle with the insurance company. It would never fly, unless it was a very upscale town.
