To be hoest i can sympathise with the guy as i have a similar alley running down side of my house, if you actually owned the house then its tough crap for him imo, but as your only renting maybe not as much say, but on the other hand you are paying to rent the house and the access is your right of way to the property so really you do have the right, just depends if the guy is actually just being anal or if there really has been kids there...probably smoking gear etc..

surly you can make an agreement to put a gate in place to deter kids, your bike would be a tad safer and then everyone would be happy

If the bushes have grown then there could not have been many kids running in and out :|

Common access by looks of things

The bit that runs alongside this blokes garden

The bit at the back

What I managed to do on saturday


I would have done more but the bin was full.

Excellent. I will now attend at your home in Wavell Close, Yate, Bristol go down this overgrown passage way where no one can see me and steal your motor bike.

Thanks for making it easy mate and giving me the plan.


You should be more careful about what you put a public board

get the deeds out to see what land is his

That will clear it up once and for all

just go for it. tell the guy you are sorry if it causes him a problem but you need the access that you are entitled to.

Nobody as far as I can tell. They are all growing out from bushes along a public path and the council have said its not their responsibility

so who owns the overgrown plant life that you are cutting back?

Cheers.
I can't do much more work for a couple of weeks anyway as the green bin is full and doesnt get emptied until monday and then im on lates.
But will crack on with it again probably weekend after next. Probably still wont get it done then. I'll try and get some pics up of what its like and what I've done so far tomorrow.

Tried that on saturday whilst I was doing it. Seems like a bit of a prick TBH

Im sure if you explained that you need decent access to your back garden he would understand :boggle:

No the passage only has access to the 2 middle houses. He has a seperate bit of path with a gate to go into his back garden

if he doesnt share the passage with you, then it's got nothing to do with him
does he use it to go out the front though?

Sorry about the crappy paint skills but you get the idea!
The house with the star is mine and the line is the alleyway

As some people might know I have just started renting a place. It's in a terrace of 4 houses and there is an alleyway for access to mine and my neighbours back gardens. It's completely overgrown and so I have started to clear it all.
The bloke on the end house has got pissy about this as apparently he has let it overgrow as there were kids coming through the bushes and walking in front of his car at night :boggle:. As far as I'm concerned it's got nothing to do with him as he has the end house so has direct access to his back garden anyway.
Just wondered what other peoples thoughts were. Obviouly I dont want to go pissing people off after 3 weeks of living there but I need access to my back garden (I don't really like leaving my motorbike out the front on the road).
I'll put a diagram up when photobucket comes back up :look:

Cheers
