Hi
We live in a group of houses in a Cul De Sac - there's about 20 houses in all and it is nice and safe area for the kids to play. At the end of the cul-de-sac, there is a small green area and a high wall (7ft) behind the wall is another large green area and another estate. The wall isn't so high on the other side (4ft) There is also an old well established hedge of ash and hawthorn, part of the fields before the estate was built.
There is a gap in this hedge which people from the other estate use as a short cut to get to the town or the local shops. We are not happy with this, as it is a cul-de-sac and we don't know who could be jumping through there next. Part of the attraction of this particular area was the privacy and security of the cul-de-sac.
Would we be in breach of anything if we plugged the gap, say with a fence panel or a few planks? One neighbour currently applys horse manure to the top of the wall and it has worked for the most part, except it dries out!
Any advice would be appreciated.
