I've not been here for a while! Apologies but I've had a lot on!
Currently its a legal fight (which some of you already know about due to my constant bending ears in the Ringers )between myself and my neighbour Network Rail
True to form, I got in to a bit of a scrap with them over a complaint I made about maintenance work(long story to be blogged very soon).
So they decided to build a fence through my lawn and up the side of my garden demolishing my 15/20 yr old shed and ignoring the ancient hedgerow boundary 2-3 foot further on. They wouldn't listen to reason... or talk to me at all
So I took an injunction out on them
A year on, after many stays that they requested, and now they know my very competent and experienced(but free) community/planning legal advisor cant help me anymore due to having a massive stroke, they have finally decided to defend their actions. I am going to represent myself as current legal costs are way outside the likes of me( 10 - 20 grand UP FRONT just to finish the case)
Therefore, amongst many other things, I am currently trying to prove the existence of the old fashioned green fence along the hedgerow that borders railway land and the Seven Stiles estate and I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction, or has any historical pictures? ANY TIME will do! The reason being is they claim 2 foot of my garden,(the planted borders and the back part of my shed) belongs to them and I intend to prove the hedge has been a recognised boundary for a significant time
Also anyone who can accurately age the hedgerow would be handy!
Cheers!
