He's already on a caution, you have a camara. Provoke him.

Someones already said, you're being bullied. I can't stand bullies. Downside, he's too old to chim him one. Provoke him to do something else and get the law back out, that'll bring him down a peg or two. Play him at his own game and wait for the fireworks.

That is criminal damage...... Whilst it is not his land the posts are his property and as such he is entirely responsible for them. If fornexample you were to remove the posts and put them on his land and he trips over them and breaks a leg he would have grounds to sue you. The law is a real *** in this respect which is the reason that the authorities always Recomend that you try and settle such a dispute amicably and sensibly. There is however your right to prosecute him nder the obstruction of rights of way act. He cold also be fond liable for a charge of criminal damage himself in the respect that he has damaged the path in order to install said bollards.

I think I would try talking to him first .... Ok in the sure knowledge that he will not listen..... Then write him a polite letter asking him to remove said obstruction and return the ground to its former state with a suggestion that if he fails to comply you will place the matter in the hands of the relevent authorities. Then speak to the council again and seek enforcement. ......... Then again I might just get a breaker and dig them out without damaging them and post them to him by recorded delivery with a note saying

I found these outside and think they might belong to you.

Best regards.....a concerned neighbour.

I don't think I'd be too bothered about the eyes of the law if I was in this situation.

Hmmm..... Moderators please take note..... Should we be ecnouraging or condoning law breaking how ever picky I might sound. Perhaps this thread is a little dodgy now???

Re: Angry neighbour? (Boundary Dispute!!) What Can I do.. Courts or Fi

If this is in the Arms I'd just just **** him, seriously though he needs bringing down a peg or two.

My stepsons wife was on the bus the other day with her 2 very young children and an old fella got on and complained that they were sat on his seat!!!! 'Bet you didn't even pay for the kids to be on the bus' he was ranting on. 'No I didn't' she replied 'did you pay for your seat?' 'No I'm an OAP and paid my taxes.'

She replied 'And I paid my taxes too'. I think he made an assumption that she was on benefits with 2 kids. Wrong, before she had children she was commercial manager for a large print firm in Leeds. She paid plenty in taxes.

Unfortunately when you get older a hormone kicks in called 'grumpio nastica' (Latin) and it leaves you in a state of boredom and nothing to do other than be angry and frustrated at anyone around you.

At some point he will overstep the mark, if he hasn't already and get himself arrested. That may calm things down a bit.

Re: Angry neighbour? (Boundary Dispute!!) What Can I do.. Courts or Fi

Dont worry I think with it all being in the Trusted section its OK to have a rant.

Look nobody on here is going to provoke me into goiing wild..

So for those worried that I am about to go Rambo and blow his body into kingdom come - Relax !

One of the great things is that we can all let off a little steam in here and not be in the public domain.
We are just blowing ****e right?

YES there is the instant gratification that this silly old Sod needs a kick up the bum !

But on the upside of course I am going to let the local authorities do battle for me (for the moment!!)


Two things will hurt him. Either the authorities will get him to remove these things.
OR

Failing that - At some point ill health will fall upon him, Its at this stage (not before) That a small rented digger and half an hour will sort this one out!

The alternative is that this escalates to some height none of us can imagine.

Bottom line is that I am still taking the "peace and love" route. So for those worried that there will be a bloodbath.. Dont worry !!!!

Its all gravy

This may sound a bit strange but what about taking a whole new approach. You could...be nice, be polite, greet him whenever you see him and after a while let little miss 2 go over with mum and offer him some kind of home cooked treat.
Maybe after a little while longer you could invite him over for a meal.
You see, he is angry and bitter and alone and broken. You might be like him too after a long hard life. He really isn't angry at you personally but at life itself perhaps. There will be a reason for his behavior but I doubt it's anything you have done.
It's worth a crack. What have you got to lose and at least you can say you did your best to resolve this in a kind and civil manner.Just my opinion right or wrong

I think he's one of those blokes you'd never get on with to be fair mate.

I'd stick banners between them celebrating a birthday or something and just use them and treat them as yours, that'd pee him off. And pursue it with the council in the meantime.

Definitely has too much time on his hands.

It must be an opening ceremony for something. Cut the rope Richard and take some pictures of it haha

Smash a bottle of bubbly over his head, sorry I mean the garage door, while you're at it.
