Neighbours' fence panel down

I would try and get someone to put a fence panel on your side maybe if you approached the landlord and said you are willing to pay for the materials if they provide the labour failing all else throw the dog poo back where it belongs (that was a joke)

It's a civil matter and the letting agents are just trying to deflect their responsibility. With the number of police cuts they don't even always come out if there is a crime.
As others have said, just block it from your side. It sounds like the less contact you have with your neighbours the better.
Hopefully what you have ordered will work and you can just forget about it.

How awkward. I have a new neighbour, she has a dog. Poor thing never goes out. My fence is quite high and I cannot see whether she picks dog poo up or not. I have a dog also who I walk three times a day.

I understand she is in full time work but is off sick at the moment so what happens then, to the poor dog, I do not know. It has been left out in the back in rain and although it barks when she leaves I feel sorry for it.

The previous tenants who I posted problems with a couple of years ago re trying to block rear access. Have done a house swop with her and they are now knocking a much larger house into shape. These are both Housing Trust properties. Housing Trusts don't seem to care what people do either. Swopping into houses much too big for their needs and there is supposed to be a shortage.

Unless, the onus is on the other side, in which case it's up to the house with the dog to erect the new fence panel.
If you stand in your back garden, the left side is usually your responsibility.
Ask your landlord if not sure about it.
Then buy a huge Alsation.

It is.

If its a rented house then surely its the landlords responsibility. ?

Thanks shysal I've ordered the reed screening from Wickes and will give it a go.

You would need some stakes but its cheaper than a slot in fence panel

I agree with Shysal - simply erect a barrier on your side over the gap. Alternatively dig a ditch and line it with lime and/or landmines and stand well clear ?☠️⚡️

Is it worth knocking on their door to ask about putting up your own fence?

I think if it was me I would cover the gap with something like this.

You have tried contacting them so doubt they would object. They can be attached with just a couple of staples to your side of the existing posts, easily removed if they want to replace the panel.

It's possible that they don't have the money to do it, or the skills to do it themselves - it is not always easy to find someone to do a small job like that, let alone one who would do it well. Do you have a son, grandson or friend who could do it? If so I would knock on their door early one evening and say my .... has offered to fix the fence is that OK with you? You could mention that you are thinking of getting a (big) dog and are worried that it will go into their garden. It would be a good way to make a friendly start even if you never see them again.

I can understand you desire not to annoy new neighbours but no, you aren't being unreasonable. If the fence definite,y belongs to your neighbour and the agent isn't just wriggling out of a repair I agree, the police seems heavy handed and I'm not sure they would respond. There could be all sorts of other official channels and if so I am sure someone will be along to exp,aim. I'm wondering if there is there any way you, or someone on your behalf, could fix something stronger and more permanent on your side of the fence. Should be possible, even if you need to put in two fence posts in your garden to do it. It is a shame when you like the house and had hoped to stay for a long while. Neighbours can never be predicted sadly. I think I am a little worried for you As they don't sound the most friendly. Have you ever chatted with them? I hope it all works out for you and someone else can be more helpful.
