  • This nomination was completely out of the blue! Sheila is very independent and doesn't like to accepting help, but after we visited she was worried about the council and accepted our offer to clear it up for free! So this will be a min series helping Sheila with at least 4 parts to do, the front garden and back garden are completely overgrown!!
    Send in your nominations.. Would you like to surprise an elderly relative or friend with a pressure washing transformation Or garden clearance/makeover? Then get in touch for more information.

      Old people can be very stubborn and not all of them are poor either just miserly !! Although I can understand caurion for them with the increasing number of shifty unscrupulous tradesman. My uncle helped an old neighbour in a similar situation with hedges and a conifer overhanging the pavement. The man had family that didn't bother with him anymore family rifts, and despite being a landlord with many properties, the money piled in the bank rather than be spent on home improvements. Good wishes.

      I doubt the council even looked to see who lived there. I temped at a council office years ago and all the fines and correspondence are printed and sent out automatically via machines even then. It’s probably even more hands off now. As with most large organisations, we’re not individuals but a number in a very long list of numbers.

      ⁠@@claire6795sry but who hurt you? Not every elderly person is as you say “miserly or stubborn” but even if they all were, it’s the Government/council job to take care of the properties not expecting seniors to do that.
      Be careful how you treat the elderly and don’t worry abt what they may or may not have, our duties as humans are to care and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Meaning, helping them out where humanly possible.

      Shiela must have at least a friend with here or a grandkid to look after her maintain that huge yard and keep her company

    I hope the neighbors show the lovely lady some love and care like they did you and your dad. I sold my house and moved to an apartment when the upkeep to my yard became too much for me. During the winter I’d go out and shovel snow. Once a complete stranger was driving by. He stopped his truck and finished my shoveling in about five minutes. It probably would have taken me another hour to complete. I tried to pay him, but he wouldn’t accept anything from me. That was a good 20 years ago and I still remember his kindness. Well done!

    Definitely SHAME on This Council! And such Blessing to You and your Dad for helping Sheila! ( she is same age as my Nan when she died.) Reaching 96 is awesome!
    Like my Nan Sheila has probably survived two WW wars! …And deserves all the respect and kindness we can give. So glad her neighbours gave you guys plenty of cuppa’s, while working so hard. We need more guys & gals like you.
    My Husband is 72 and disabled and had a heart valve transplant. During a council property up grade, they opened our drive gates, to put a skip in for the rubbish.
    And WE got served like this by Wakefield Council! The notice said if we didn’t stop using / opening our drive gates and not use the drive because the road kirb was built up. They would put bollards outside our home and or charge us £2000+ for flattening the kirb down. If we did use them they would take us to court & fined.
    The biggest joke is !
    It was a flat kirb to start with! .Some years ago Highway maintenance were removing paving flags, as too many people were tripping up and getting broken limbs and suing the Council. So they replaced them with concrete paths.
    While we were out, the small terrace where we live involving 4-5 houses who all had drives, the Council workers built up all the existing flat kirb paths. Other neighbours, had to pay to build theirs up again, we couldn’t afford to.
    Local Councils are the biggest offenders against the aged & disabled in the community.
    Who have worked hard all there lives. They’ve also refused to cut down huge trees in our garden, so overgrown it’s dark in our kitchen, have to have lights on, same at front too. I struggled to cut down some smaller private hedges my self, we had to pay to have council fence next to a public park totally replaced, because they refused to do any repairs with us in our home, unless we move out first. I’ve been here since 1992 I too have minor heart issues, & back issues.
    But the difference to our well being & mental health getting more light into the property is amazing. No thanks to Wakefield Council.
    (I too work for free in the community I always have given of time to help others & charities !) Helping others in your Local Community is one of the most Rewarding and Greatest Gifts you Can Give.
    And a big Thank You to all those who do … like you Guys too!
    We need more folks like you Guys! Many Blessings to You both! You guys Rock!

      Yea as if all the neighbours keep the tools needed and we're used in this videos in their homes and have time to do all the hard work that they did.. The council could have helped but they didn't. At least the good neighbours gave them something to be motivated and happy throughout the process. Don't come here and gaslight others. We will be lucky to have neighbours like those!

This video in so many ways has restored my faith in humanity, the neighbours all being supportive, more communities like this is what we all need, because our Government just fails us. The real people of this country are awesome.

    • @nigelanscombe8658

      I doubt the council has the skills these days they’d simply call in a contractor to do the jobs they need doing.
      Alas, those jobs don’t include the upkeep of private property. The nearest they might get is to get someone in to do the job and pass on the bill to the householder since it wouldn’t be a proper use of tax payers money.

    • @mydogeatspuke
      @mydogeatspuke Před 7 měsíci

      Why was it obvious that she needed help? Because she was old? Because it was overgrown? Leave anything without proper maintenance and it will end up like that. It has nothing to do with the property owner, plants just grow. I don't see how cutting it back so it can grow again is helping if she genuinely couldn't afford to hire a gardener to keep on top of it, as she would just end up in the same situation at the end of the next season. Also being old doesn't make someone incapable of hiring a professional. Obviously she wouldn't do it herself, but lots of people don't tend their own gardens. It's wild how everyone just assumes being old makes someone an invalid.
