Re: neighbour

Why do you think she does this?

Is there a dispute between you (maybe a boundary issue) or are these random attacks?

If this has been going on a while have you been told to keep a diary of the incidents (as well as CCTV) and would an ASBO be the way forward?

Re: neighbour

She is only permitted to trim anything that overhangs on to her side of boundary, however she must return the cuttings to you as they are your property.
In your case I'd suggest that a diary be kept and collate some photographic evidence of her if possible.
You can then approach the housing association with the evidence. I'd also personally obtain a copy of the requirements of the tenancy agreement which the HA may provide you with. Alternatively a call to local council requesting a copy of these rules may also get you a copy. This would put you in a stronger position with the HA as you'd know what you are up against.
