Luckily we are not having friends/family for a BBQ and fortunately its not warm enough to sit in the garden...but what if I had and what if it was???
Is it me or are people totally selfish these days with no respect for others and the fact its a Bank Holiday...

Sadly you are correct ..

We have neighbours to the back of us ( diagonally ) who have spent 6 months having an extension added to the back of their house .. so we have had building noises every weekend and bank holiday even some evenings .

What makes it even worse is that they are building illegally .. the double extension itself is bigger than the actual house and they seem to have beaten the system !!

When it was obvious that it was going to be of monstrous proportions their next door neighbours contacted the council planning .. only to be told that they had sent out 7 letters to the neighbours giving them the chance to comment or complain .. not ONE neighbour received any correspondence !!!

The guy is ‘known’ in the area .. someone you don’t mess with ….
