No they dont, i have reported a case of the junky upstairs from me fiddling
the meter,(an incredibly simple operation requiring a piece of wire) even
offering photographic evidence and they refused to do anything about it.

"They" being ...? These days wouldn't you have to contact the MPAS[1]
to find out who is the supplier to the premises before you could report
it? Then the supplier contacts their meter operator. Or can you go
straight to the DNO[2] and report it as a dangerous situation? The
latter ought to get someone out pretty quickly.

[1] Meter point administration service
[2] Distribution network operator
