ornaments and plants in there. They often completely block the road with there cars so if I wanted vehicular access I couldn't get through anyway. I am worried that after a time that they will be able to claim that the land belongs to them and will try to deny our rights. I don't want to upset them unnecessarily but don't know my rights. Can anyone help?
They can only claim it if the land if they have undisturbed occupation of it for 11 years, if you have a car you should politely assert your rights, the longer you leave it the more difficult it will become. Whatever you do is sure to upset them, it depends on how much you want acess.
Thank you so much for all your replies. We do definitely have vehicular access. I shall check to see who owns land, ie whether it is next door or council. They moved in about a year ago but have gradually increased the number of things that block it,so that it feels mean to say anything but I wil obviously have to.
