Gardens
If you have a garden, it can be a cause of problem if it’s not cared for properly.
Do not allow your garden to become overgrown and messy. Keeping it tidy and free of rubbish helps to improve the look of the area.
If you are carrying out any garden maintenance, such as fence repairs or other work that requires access to a neighbour’s garden, please knock and ask for permission before entering their property.
If you are elderly or disabled and unable to maintain your garden, contact us on 0345 2000 102 and we will consider what we can do to help.
The council has a responsibility for dealing with untidy gardens and land in some situations, e.g. where material is rotting and causing a nuisance or attracting rats or mice.
