A retired couple have said they've spent their life savings in a bitter legal row with their former neighbour over a fence put up on their shared driveway.<br /><br />Graham and Katherine Bateson said they have sunk £45k into lawyers' fees since their late neighbour Wendy Leedham placed the fence alongside their bungalow.<br /><br />The couple sought an injunction to have it taken down, saying it obstructed the entrance to the drive of their property after it was put up in 2019. <br /><br />Mr and Mrs Bateson argued that when they bought their two-bedroom house for £29,500 in 1987, they were told it shared a drive with their neighbour.<br /><br />They said they were told there was a featureless boundary marked between the two properties which should not be built on.
