A North Ayrshire man has been arguing with the council for almost two months in a bid to have rubbish dumped in his garden and bins by a neighbour cleared away.
Stuart Maxwell from Dalry claims he is in a bins war with the resident who fills them up to the brink and 'trashed' his garden with used household items.
The 28-year-old first reached out to North Ayrshire Council in May but, instead, claims council workers advised him to clear away the mess himself and closed his complaint without notifying him.
