Default Garden mess leads to jail

If the same action could be taken for littering my land with 3 ton of
rubbish cuttings my neighbours tatty conifers produce it would be lovely
but it seems inconsiderate neighbours can do things like that with impunity

People *do* get prosecuted for incorrect spraying of chemicals, as the
farmer who farms the field next to me is finding out!! 3 times I've asked
him not to allow the drift to come onto my land (we have sheep and horses
grazing), so by the 4th time I'd had enough. The HSE have taken it up and
it's going to Magistrates Court soon. Of course I doubt this will carry a
sentence, which is not what I would want anyway. More likely he'll be
heavily fined, as during their investigation they found a catalogue of
non-compliance.

Anyone here? (let us know in 4 months)!


A bit of a waste, yes. But probably not nearly so annoying as
neighbours can be. I bet people never get this, for example, for
spraying chemicals around like mad, even when they happen to stop a
fence from being put up too (a combination which must occur
sometimes).
