Months later I sold the bush block. The new owner received from NSC the same warning I received. Don't touch anything. I was surprised to see the new owner of a second sold block "cleaning up" his green belt between the road and his property. I made him aware that this could be a costly exercise, but I was told he is allowed to do this.

Next day I enquired in person to the NSC if the rules concerning clearing had changed. Instead of answering my question, I was asked to write a complaint about my neighbour. I asked her to answer my question if the law had been changed.

Sir, you must write a complaint. I explained again that I didn't want to complain about the new land owner, I just wished to know if I can do the same. Sir, you must write a complaint. Finally I wrote a complaint. The new land owner still continues cleaning up the green belt. Obviously his action must be legal. Why have I been told (and the new bush block owner) not to touch anything?
