Fair.

after neighbours complained about the smell. The resident, who has not been named, ignored four notices to clean up the mess before being hauled to court

Then after that the guy gets told to clean up his shit. He doesn't. They haul his ass back in court, doesn't show up. Gets fined.

If it gets to the point the neighbors complain, and they give you like 4 warnings to fix it and they drag your ass to court and tell you to do it and after all that you still don't clean up your shit. Yeah can't feel sorry for him.

Does the UK have laws against cruel and unusual punishment? Can we push the guys nose into the shit and then get his mother to scold him relentlessly until he cleans it up himself. Rediculous.
