hi all after some advice please
I have lived in a council house for the past 3 and a half years with no problems what so ever.
But 2 month ago I get a new tenant move in next door to me who is private landlord and the trouble starts over the access to my back garden I live in a block of 3 houses together each end house has there own access and I have the right to use the access round past the new tenants house (which I have done since I moved in).
But sinces shes moved in ive had police at my door and council shes filled there heads full of well u no wot I was going to say shes told council that I have no right over this access and she will be chaining bins up so we cannot use this access (now if I'm right the back of house is still deemed as a fire exit) so she cannot do this her land lord has said theres no way she can stop me using this access but shes having none of it I'm at breaking point as no one is listering to my right is causing argument after argument an any one HELP PLEASE

^^ Agree sending such a letter would be accepting that you do not have right of access but are wanting to claim it.
I can not see where the Police come into it,this is not a criminal matter it is a civil matter. What did the police say? They should have just told the neighbour she was wrong and refused to do anything.
This is a very common situation with access.
The estate agent who arranged the sale must have told the buyer that there was common access, check that they did do it as it is a legal requirement to do so.
The council also MUST know about the common access, again I can not see why they are supporting the other tenant.

Even better idea. If as you say, this is a fire exit / access, go to the local fire station and tell them what is happening. Their word is law as regards fire access,they will soon explain to the neighbour that she must allow free access at all times. Even if it is not an official fire exit the fire brigade will not be at all happy that a fire escape route is blocked.
Baldric it does not matter in the least if the properties are council or private , ownership has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the right of access.
The estate agent who organised the sale MUST BY LAW have informed any buyer that there is a right of access! If they did not do that they misrepresented the facts and can be sued. That is why I suggest talking to the agents.
