I agree.

We work for multi millionaires and even those don’t get to say what their neighbours can and can’t do if it’s been given the green light through planning

I dont think it is for me to let our neighbours know that we are having guests around for a BBQ in case they were thinking of using heavy machinery ....if anything it was their responsibility to inform us of the work they were having done on the Bank Holiday in case we had plans... I mean they knew how inconvenient and noisy it was going to be hence they piussed off for the day.. The weather has been so nice leading up to this BH weekend it would have been mindful that people may want to get the BBQ and entertain family and friends ...

I have no problem with work being done...long term or weekend mowing..the point was it being on the BH.

They waited until after 8am which is the considerate thing to do

Due to my career, a bank holiday is often the only time I can do serious work in the garden.
Although I only potter about really.
As I have some guys who come to do the real garden work.

I would not have machinery going though, maybe lawn mower but that would only be for an hour or so.

In rusti's case, if I knew she was having family and/ or friends for a day in the garden as in a BBQ.
I'd not want to, out of consideration want to spoil their day.
The guys who do my garden also would never be there outside a normal weekday.

Of course Joey...many people work Mon-Fri and do that sort of thing at the weekend...but mowing your lawn does not take more than an hour unless you live on a large plot of land where you wont be heard anyway

Sorry but you are being silly if you think the police will come out because someone is having their garden tidied up

You can’t get any one out to a burglary

Do you actually think the law is working in this country?

Theresa may gets six armed officers assigned to guard her in three top of the range Volvos and she will have them for the rest of her life the same goes for all previous prime ministers

Clearly they don’t care what the neighbours think

Yes... completely thoughtless. People only seem to care about themselves these days and do not give a toss about others.

Did they actually wake you, rusticgal?

They woke us both...we had a late night although I am not an early riser anyway

[Barry.]

I didn't know it was against the law on a BH? It might be different here in Scotland

[Cherie]

Tbh they must be cowboys when we put our last place up for sale we had some overgrown trees cut back, the guy who did it, told us to let the neighbours know what day he was cutting, and that was on a weekday, because besides the noise it is likely you will get debris in your garden, its just good manners, something completely lacking in some

Yeah most likely especially if they were causing debris to go all over neighbours gardens. Professional companies would value their reputation a bit more. People carrying out their own odd jobs is fine because bank holidays are often the only chance they get to do that but there's clearly a difference between that and an industrial operation going on all day

Thanks to rusti for providing a good discussion on a slow bank holiday Monday

You are welcome…good debate is always good

Had to be up early today as was going out but yesterday when I wanted a sleep in, a Sunday of a bank Holiday the neighbours at the back were taking down scaffolding so loudly throwing pipes etc on the floor! At 8 o clock in the morning!

It’s so inconsiderate of people…

[Jessica.]

The thing is, people complain when gardens are overgrown and when stuff like scaffolding is up etc.. You can't please everyone.

No one is complaining about gardening being done or having scaffolding up/down…the debate is about when is the right time to do it.

Yes they should be more considerate. And it's bank holiday as well.

Company said 3 other neighbours had complained and one woman on opposite corner even came out in her night dress swearing her head off at them...she then went on town facebook page and complained before it was taken down...
We have taken videos and footage...I mean its still going on as we speak since 08:40 this morning..

Oh come on this is a bit ridiculous. If it was constant and incessant then yes but for one day it’s hardly a big deal. Just because you’re off doesn’t mean other people have to be.

[Cal.]

Also I just googled as I was curious and although it is ‘prohibited’ to carry out noisy work on Sundays or bank holidays it says there is no actual law against it?

Depends what you classify as noisy…

Nothing ridiculous at all about asking an inconsiderate arsehole to tidy his mess and to keep the noise down.. not everyone is a shivering weed when it comes to confrontation.

[joeysteele]

It did come across as extremely inconsiderate.
Even moreso with the results of the work in progress spilling over into rusti's area.

That doesn't happen with good professional working and it shouldn't do so either.

Hope your week goes better than yesterday rusti.
