Albert Tatlock Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 "Charging people £150 to complain about their neighbour’s high hedges will deter many from doing so." Which Brainiac in the Government came up with this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I could understand if there was some administration fee to cover some of the costs that running the scheme is likely to incur but £150 seems rather steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hboy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yeah spotted this on the MR website, Someone's been drinking to much Gin. Maybe £150 to put a sign in your garden with "wanker" and an arrow pointing next door would be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambon Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 GREAT IDEA!!!! Stop your fcking whinging you landowning gimps. Get over it... Its a hedge!! Its natural... its a plant... Enjoy it..... I wonder if there is a fine for "accidently" cutting down their hedge is? If it is less that £150 - SORTED!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, have you never seen the Triffids! I think you'll find they weren't real. If it stops the local busybodies complaining for the hell of it, I applaud the reasoning behind it. If you have a genuine gripe you can claim baxck the cost of bringing the case, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copycat Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I think we should have to look at the garden of the relevant person in charge of managing the project and the Minister responsible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I was wondering - If my next door neighbour from Lancashire (who owns an internet betting company) allows his hedge to grow sky high (it's a box hedge) should I hedge my bets, or pay the £150 pounds and take steps to have it chopped down?
