Damage to property

[laurajayne26]

Yesterday 10/9 I arrived hope to find a big hole taken from my hedge to install one of your green boxes!!

Without any consent from me - my garden is enclosed for a reason with having dogs and now they are able to escape !

cannot contact virgin media no email

i work full time so don’t have the time to be waiting around on the phone by the time I get home your centres are closed!

anyone else had this problem before ?

You may want to check where your property line ends as that looks like your hedge has overgrown into a public footpath, so no consent required.

On top of that your note on dogs escaping seems unreasonable considering the metal mesh behind the hedge:

Certainly looks to be on public land. Only legal redress I can see is that VM/contractor should have returned the overhanging hedge cutting to you and I presume they have not.

Definitely need a hedge trimmer trimmer there. Do it now, don't wait till spring when the birds will be nesting. 

With hedges, vm cabinets, dog doings and cars parked, people seem to have  forget what pavements are for.

Hey laurajayne26, thank you for reaching out and warm welcome to the community I am so sorry to hear about this.

As mentioned can you just confirm if you own this land where this placed?

Or is this public land?

We would of had permission from the local council to place this here.

Can you let us know, if you prefer to go to PM we can do this also 🙂 

Just reply when you can do.

There is a legacy green cabinet there and the new one is next to it and the existing pavement slab is inline with new cabinet. Appears that your hedge has just simply overgrown onto public land and they have trimmed it back. They are supposed to knock and ask whether you want the cuttings back or not, and under law you can refuse them and they have to get rid of them. A lot of people think you can just dump the cuttings over the boundary, but you can't.
