[QUOTE="Pond digger, post: 3511900, member: 33096"] A bit more info. It's a long and complex tail, but neighbor from hell bought land either side of the road from local IDB ( it was former canal land ). Anyway, the road had been included in the sale ( I didn't know this at the time ) and when neighbor fell out with IDB he started making threats to dig the road up, and things went down hill from there. When I asked him why he was dragging me into the fight, he said he wanted me on his side ( don't ask, because there really is no logical answer). I did the research and checked council records, and although the road was classified as public, there was no recorded width. When neighbour decided he'd remove the verge from both sides of the road things got serious. It all culminated in a neighbour v council court case, with neighbor claiming the road had no public rights. Anyway, neighbor lost, and width was confirmed at 15ft. So, the council surface the full 15ft legal width, but because neighbor has by now significantly lowered the level of his adjoining ground, the road edge is left unsupported. [/QUOTE]
