Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

We used to love running the dog at Coes Ford but lately there’s a group of boys who are drinking there with loud music, yelling etc. the worst thing is that they are leaving broken glass and rubbish everywhere by the river.

I picked up a bucket of glass, bottle caps , cans and bottles and shot glasses today.I no longer want to take the dog there in case he stands on some glass also it is quite Intimidating as a large group of 12 or more. In the summer lots people take their children to swim there. I’ve let the ranger know but heard nothing and another lady also said she was going to report it to the Lincoln policeman. They seem to be there during the week and at weekends.
