Following a recent collapse of a garage the rubble has eventually been cleared, however, the remainder has been swept onto the footpath. A rabbit hutch was left outside our property, No. 37. I moved it away but then it was put back. I have no evidence but I'm convinced that the hutch was left by 4 Milligan as they have a circumstantial history of doing such things.-Flat 1, 37 Knighton Lane, Leicester, LE2 8BH
