We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make repairing or replacing a damaged boundary fence a legal requirement
Home owners should be legally responsible for replacing blown down fencing that intrudes on another property, or repairing fencing to maintain a secure shared boundary.
More details
If a neighbour's fence blows down or is in a very bad state (not secure) there is currently no way to force them to replace or repair it. If they own the fence it should be their legal requirement to replace or make good.
