Dear Mr Broadbent,

​

I am writing with respect to the conversation we had in February concerning your dog, Rocky, and the hole in your garden fence. As you know I mentioned that your dog is constantly entering

my garden and has on a number of occasions uprooted my plants, knocked over my bins and generally caused a nuisance.

​

I further mentioned that it is due to the hole in your fence where our properties meet and you promised me that it would be repaired as soon as possible.

​

It is now April and still nothing has been done. I have contacted my lawyer and he has suggested that I try once more to resolve the matter amicably before taking it any further.

​

I am therefore requesting in writing that the fence is repaired so that your dog cannot access my garden or my property.

​

I would expect this issue to be addressed within two weeks of the date of this letter. If you should wish to discuss the matter further I will be available most evenings next week.

​

Thank you for your prompt attention.

​

Yours sincerely,

​

Steven Jones
