A retired couple have stated they’ve spent their life financial savings in a bitter authorized row with their former neighbour over a fence put up on their shared driveway. Graham and Katherine Bateson stated they’ve sunk £45k into attorneys’ charges since their late neighbour Wendy Leedham positioned the fence alongside their bungalow. The couple sought an injunction to have it taken down, saying it obstructed the doorway to the drive of their property after it was put up in 2019. Mr and Mrs Bateson argued that after they purchased their two-bedroom home for £29,500 in 1987, they had been informed it shared a drive with their neighbour. They stated they had been informed there was a featureless boundary marked between the 2 properties which shouldn’t be constructed on.
