having some serious hassle with a 'anti', for a year, snooping round, we are clean, and police involved, the question is, how far can we go, to protect our living ? CCTV, more solid gates, to stop people looking in, barbed wire on top of the gates to stop her climbing over, signs everytwhere, any more ideas/thoughts ?

We use anti-climb paint a lot. A small amount goes a looooong way, sticks like sh**t to a blanket and is a bursket to get off.
Paint the tops of all your access points and I'll bet whoever is snooping won't be so quick to try again as it will NOT come off hands for several days!

Leave a dog out in the yard

Is it one lady acting on her own, as opposed to a group of them ? If so (and yes I know its easy to say this from a distance) is there any mileage in inviting her in for a guided tour and a discussion ?

fine, good guard dog on a chain, then, its cruel to keep a dog chained up. Farming should not be like this, certainly not for 1 person.

most definitely not, fuel to the flames.

Leave it loose, private property we had 3 border collies at one time and not even the gypsies would get out of the vans to look around, border collies can be nasty one of ours didn't like anyone except me and my dad

 

[delilah]

most definitely not, fuel to the flames.

in that case then as said an asbo, I can't start to think how it would be possible to use physical deterrents to stop someone who is determined.

 

[Fast Farmer]

You got a 240v electric fencer? Put wire of tape around put a couple of signs up electrify the gates and wait haha

Plod needs to be doing their job. UK trespass law is crap. They need to be pressed to get an asbo due to the repeated nature. Then it's breech means a spell in the old jail.

You can apply to the courts for an injunction to stop them.

I'd go plod, or solicitor.

 

[betweenthelines]

Dogs as above. Or a sizeable black & white bull, if there's no RoW's

And geese. If you've had a nasty gander go for you, you'll know what I mean.

She needs to know that a working farm can be hazardous, she wouldn't get away with wandering round a repair garage.

 

[Fast Farmer]

Lol got a Galloway X bull for you

Restraining order

 

[Swarfmonkey]

Gather evidence by way of CCTV then apply for an injunction to stop her trespassing.

 

[Fast Farmer]

Trouble is there not normally alone, there in groups, she gets an asbo or gets caught or whatever then her friend will come round then there friend etc etc, best form of defence is attack

 

[Swarfmonkey]

Injunctions can be quite wide ranging, covering groups as well as just individuals.
