    Budget 2019 - Measures to help the housing crises - what would you do?

    Dept of Finance Report: We are a welfare nation

    I would agree with giving higher rates to short term unemployed - but only for a certain length of time - there shouldn't be someone who is able bodied long term receiving unemployment assistance. The problem in this country now is there are too many people who feel the state is 'obliged' to...

    neighbour throwing out foodwaste

    I really wouldn't have much confidence in the council either! However I don't have too many options. The people - my neighbours- are probably members of the rat family themselves so a rat in their garden would not deter them. They know its irritating to me and don't care, there don't...

    neighbour throwing out foodwaste

    Thanks for all the replies - it is certainly horrible to have neighbours who are like this. No sitting out the back for me - even now when it isn't happening I'm in fear of having to run at any minute. I guess the LA is the way to go although I don't know how much faith I'd have in them...

    neighbour throwing out foodwaste

    im in a bin area but as far as I can see they don't have one. I THINK IT'S DISGUSTING. I live in a housing estate and when I say it's ruined my back yard for me I really mean it These aren't nice people and I suppose I had hoped or I wish there was a law against it - it's totally...

    neighbour throwing out foodwaste

    I wonder what is the councils responsibility regarding this or does it have any? My neighbours seem to think it's normal to dispose of food waste out the back door to be eaten I guess by whatever comes by. This is causing me problems due to the numbers of birds coming to feed - almost like...

    Who speaks for the taxpayer?

    Why can't rent be taken from the social welfare or other income of the occupant when they refuse to pay - whatever the reason??? Make sure they are aware this will happen after even one non payment and the problem is solved. People who don't pay do it as they know nothing will happen.
