Living next to a messy neighbour is certainly frustrating. Nobody enjoys looking out the window and seeing a pile of rubbish waiting to be cleared away. But there's only so much you can do. After all, for the most part, it's up to everyone to look after their property as they see fit.
However, one resident has found themselves tackling a more complex problem as their neighbour's rubbish has started spilling out onto the street.
"My next door neighbours have a mess in their back garden. That's ok, it's their back garden, they can do whatever they like, however, I have had problems with them dumping stuff in the shared alley before, outside my property and not theirs!" the frustrated parent explained in a post to Mumsnet.
