A WOMAN has vented her frustration after her neighbour erected a 6ft fence in her garden – blocking out all of her light.

The anonymous woman took to Mumsnet where she wrote a post captioned: "To not want to look at a f***ing fence all day long!"

She explained how she lives in a terraced house owned by the local housing association.

"The front gardens are tiny and in quite close proximity to each other, not ideal for privacy but it's just the way it is," the woman penned.

Anyway came home today to find next door neighbour had added a new fence on top of the fence that was already there (was 3 foot and is now 6 foot) all around her garden including the fence that separates my garden from hers."

The annoyed woman told how her neighbour hadn't mentioned anything to her about having it done – adding this was the first time she knew about it.

"It's a f***ing monstrosity!" she explained.

Not only does it block out all light to my front garden but it looks awful (her side is all lovely and painted the side on mine is a mess with random nails sticking out)."

"It means that my children will no longer be able to play on the front alley as I used to be able to see them at all times from my window whereas now all I can see from my living room window is her f***ing fence."

She went on to say that in addition, it's a danger hazard due to the nails sticking into her side.

"My children won't even be safe in their own garden," she raged.

"Can't believe she did this without even saying a word. Neighbours the other side of her are also fuming for the same reasons."

The woman concluded by asking whether she'd be out of order for going outside and pulling the whole thing down – and responses were mixed.

"At the very least they should be able to get her to make it safe for you," wrote one.

A second commented: "Front fences are not allowed to be as high as 6 foot because of visibility issues. But I do not know who you would take this up with."

Maybe phone planning or the council to see who they suggest speaking too."

A third wrote: "We had the same problem – not HA, but in a terrace."

We did nothing ourselves but several of the neighbours toddled along to the planning office and within a week the fence was gone…."

Meanwhile, a fourth added: ""You would BU to pull the fence down now."
