Sky HD a tree and a horrible neighbor

The tree isn't causing her any issues and there isn't really anything that requires sorting out on her part. You want her to trim part of it for your own reasons (presumably a part that isn't overhanging your garden else you could just cut it yourself) she is well within her rights to refuse for whatever reason AFAIK (maybe she likes the tree etc...). If I were you I'd approach the subject nicely/write a nice note and offer to pay all costs.

so you want an unemployed person to pay to have their tree chopped so you can get a better satellite signal? am i understanding this? can you see how bad that sounds when made more concise?
no offence but i would tell you to **** off if i was her. maybe if you offered to pay since its your problem. she has no obligation to do it and it will not benefit her, why should she pay, she doesnt have to.
if the tree overhangs your lawn you can cut directly up from the boundary fence, if i recall.
Well just phoned Sky, got an engineer booked for next week, free of charge.
They made a note that I might need a bigger dish.
Currently got the mini dish I believe, and the guy I spoke to said they do larger ones, so hopefully we will get this all sorted.
Thanks for you help chaps.

She is a problem neighbour mate, all of us in our row of seven houses have reported her to the police and the housing authority for numerous incidents.

The call centre make me laugh, You dont require a bigger Dish just yours being moved higher and put on a S-pole which can sit above the gutter and have the dish on that.

and the tree is causing an issue for neither of them.. so there's no reason why they'd pay for it.
Its not a matter of growing a pair.
Her and her sixteen year old just love to have someone to have a go at.
It has been proven in the past that the slightest of issues anyone has against her and all hell breaks loose.
It just isn't worth the aftermath of grief.
I'm sorry if I was misunderstood, I was not expecting the tenant to pay for anything.
It was her landlord that we made the inquiry with, ie the housing association, who the house and the tree belong to.
Edit : Come to think of it, I can't believe the housing association expects someone on the dole with no money to pay to have her tree trimmed, surely its their responsibility ?

Really?
To be honest it is a shame she is such a **** neighbour. If people took pride in the way their property looked and was bothered how it effect others around then this would never be a problem.
Maybe I should just let the weeds and flowers and bushes grow over into my neighbours garden and block out sunlight/sky.
Actually no I will keep it up out of my own pocket/time and keep it all nice and tidy.

Ninja night time tree killing would be my option i think. Sounds fun.
I imagine due to the height of the tree that it wont be a cheap job to do.
I would have thought the responsibility would be the the council run housing association.
Not the tenant who has no money.
Heh Heh.....true,you need to man up a bit!! She's probably a right bruiser,more than likely spending her evenings downing pints of Stella whilst breaking wind without batting an eye.....the perfect woman!!

You can always just have the top lopped off the tree, say 8' will solve your problem.
