We live in a house built in 1981. At the back is a paved area which, I was told by a council official, used to provide parking for visitors to two neighbours who both had disabilities.
The two neighbours passed away some time ago and the area has been allowed to become overgrown, leading to rubbish being dumped there and other forms of anti-social behaviour to take place.
The area has been cleared on two occasions, only after requests to the council.
My husband and I approached the council and asked to buy the plot of land, merely to extend our garden.
Correspondence was lengthy with numerous delays on their side and we let the issue slip.
