I would definitely inform the council of what they are doing - mention the health hazard bit - it's true, especially as I am sure there are a lot more flies etc around due to the hot summer. It is amazing how unkind people can be, just to amuse themselves.Good idea but sadly not possible - we are in a terrace with no front gardens, I know if I push it nearer their door it will just end up even closer to mine - that's the sort of spiteful bullies they are, especially the husband - he's like a big kid and goes out of his way to try to wind me up. Last year it ended when refuse inspectors (or whatever they're called) came around telling everyone to keep their bins in their gardens because they were blocking the pavements - maybe a word in their ears would work.
