This one has invoked the "won't somebody think of the kids" clause.

I do have one query with the one I linked to though. He claims that where they have placed the box, it blocks his view of the pavement when he drives out of his drive. Fair enough. Are most BT boxes around 3-4 foot tall though? I could certainly see over the VM boxes around here while sitting in a car. Of course, if he drove a 911 or other sports car, he'd have a point.

Seems to me that this woman is a typical Resident's Associate busybody though. Our local residents association spends most of it's time complaining that the council does nothing to maintain the flowerbeds around the area, which prompts the council to maintain them for about 2 weeks.

That's not to say the RA haven't helped in the area. They managed to get an extension to the secure unit at Bethlem Royal Hospital stopped citing major concerns over security at the site (someone escapes at least 6 times a year).
