Well, they seemed Ok but they have reduced my conifers to lollipops and
hacked my damson trees. Without asking
FGS. We both have 150 yard long gardens and why it's necessary to get so
territorial I don't know.

I might just mention now how annoying their dog is, barking all day up at
the window through to my house but I had hoped not to have to say keep your
dog in the back of the house. Now I might.
If they have just cut your trees back on their side of the dividing fence
then that is their right, I do the same to the end of my neighbours
Leylandii hedge as I don't want it overhanging my garden. However if they
have damaged your trees on your side of the fence without asking and getting
your permission then that is wrong and they should be told so. Of course
they could have cut back the trees so they could erect a fence to keep their
dog in but it would have been neighbourly to tell you first.
