[QUOTE="dudders, post: 7806438, member: 19026"] 'Chemical warfare' - what's that about? Stock fence might be a solution, giving 1.5metres from the hedge, so long as you keep the hedge trim. I can't believe they've said 3 metres because of the hedge AND a double fence. Bonkers and right out of order. As the extra fencing is only necessary because the public refuse to stick to the marked path and destroy your electric fence, you can ask your County Council Highways Department to finance it. They do have discretion to pay up in situations like this. I'd kick off by asking for the whole cost of a contractor to do the job. Your HSE inspector sounds like a loose cannon, if what you've told us is correct. He could be exceeding his authority with some of his requirements. Have you made an appeal against this, in the proper way? You said earlier that you had a solicitor working on this - any progress? You definitely need qualified advice. If you're short on funds, you can get legal aid - specifically available for people who feel they've been mistreated by a public authority. It's important not to do anything to aggravate the situation, like putting up rude signs - people will use that against you and it will look bad if you should end up in court. You have to keep calm and be seen to be acting in a responsible manner at every step. May be an idea to get on to the local press (before your opponent does) and your MP. [/QUOTE]
