We have heard nothing! First they threaten you, then when you are being decent people and saying is this ok? Let us know so we can secure our property safely, they don't want to know. So we have had to go ahead and finish the bottom of the fence not knowing if they will complain again. What is worse is that they will just let the bramble grow up again and weeds but never maintain the land.
Here is what the top of the garden looked like last year...
Where the little blue plant pot is now where the fence is! The seat has been moved to the left of the picture and we have lost about five foot all the way down the right hand side of the garden. The shrub to the right has been moved and stone walls dismantled. We also had a deck at the bottom that has been there for seven years that is now in bits leaving a small deck with a gap that needs fixing.
This has left an awful lot of tidying up work so aside from the usual church visits our Easter will consist of making this good and putting it right. It will be beautiful again just a bit smaller. We have also saved all emails to network rail in case they come and want to spoil it again. They only noticed the boundaries of properties because they were chopping down hundred year old trees in the middle of the night!! If you live beside the tracks you will be familiar with the fact that they think it is ok to use industrial machinery at two a.m in the morning at weekends for hours at a time. They also leave all the mess beside the tracks! Surely loose logs are more dangerous! Anyone else had unexpected change of plans? Never mind it will all be good.
Hi What a carry on! I am surprised you had to put up with the nuisances of overnight working. I recently saw a TV programme about motorway maintenance and when they worked overnight they had to come to an agreement with the residents and even offer hotel time if it was needed. I am not sure if they had to raise the issue through council dept who deal with noise nuisance but I remember they got the operators to be more reasonable.
