Hi
I have a bit of a dilemma, we have a 100 ft garden, and we are trying to sell up and move, but its taking its time to sell, so I think we will be in this house for at least this summer, the dilemma is, out neighbours have cut down 5ft apple trees that were against out fence during last winter, and the fence which belongs to us, is only 4ft high, which runs along down on the right for about 90ft, the problem is now, we have lost all our privacy since these trees have been cleared, when ever we sit on the garden our neighbours now can see and have caught them even looking at whatever we do in the garden, and its making me not want to even go out there now, it also doesn't help that they don't even talk to us anymore, because 2 yrs ago, they put up an illegal extension lean to, and we approached them about this as it was opposite our kitchen window, and they told us they where getting planning for it during the works on this, which I thought was unusual practice, turns out they didn't have planning going through,so they lied to us, and because we complained to them, then to the planning dept eventually, they decided we was not fit enough to speak with anymore, so it makes me feel so very awkward to even see them, I know they where entitled to cut the trees down, Im just upset because seeing as we are moving, and we don't have the ready funds to put a new 90ft fence all the way along, I really feel as if I cant sit or let my girls use the swimming pool out in the garden now, they even feel self conscious, the man next door is a pretty nosey fella, he always has to turn and take a look at us if we are out there, I wonder if anyone has some tips on what we could put up along the fence thats reasonably to give us some privacy back.
Many Thanks
