For example, you cannot trespass onto the gardens of neighbours to remove any rubbish or foliage yourself.
There are strict laws on what you can and cannot do when it comes to taking action yourself. Unfortunately however, the simple fact that your next door neighbour's garden is unkempt and a bit overgrown is insufficient to enable you to take action unless it's contravening the law. Your rights when it comes to neighbours' gardens are governed by a number of laws. The garden or land can become unsightly or attract other environmental crimes, such as fly-tipping. We often receive complaints regarding overgrown, unkempt and untidy gardens.
