John Turner, son of the disabled woman for whom a neighbor built a hay wall to block her sight. He was furious when he saw the scrolls (in the background of the image) on the other side of his garden.
A wealthy British citizen built on his property a Thornham, Hunstanton, United Kingdoma six-foot-high wall of straw bales, in an act of vengeance, to prevent a neighbor from seeing her lawn, reports the Daily Mirror.
Stefano Bett68-year-old former Norfolk County Sheriff built the barrier to block the view from a disabled neighbor’s home. Maxine Turner78 years old, whose son he accuses of cutting down 95 trees he planted a few years ago and which appeared to have been cut down earlier this month.
Bett admits that he actually “has no idea if [Turner] he did it or not, “but stressed that the damage occurred in front of his property and that the neighbors anyway “they have no right of sight”. “They cut the hedges to get a view, but it’s not a good view for me. Why do I have to see what they are doing?” She said, adding that he doesn’t want to “see those people in their gardens doing barbecue and drying rack“.
The wall Stephen Bett placed on his property to annoy his neighbor and son, whom he suspects has cut down a hundred trees.
For his part, Turner’s 50-year-old son, who claims he did nothing against the trees, insists that Bett put the straw rolls in front of his mother’s house and not others as he just wanted to “annoy” her.
“Bett has hundreds of acres of farmland and could have put it anywhere, but she chose to put it here. My mother has multiple sclerosis and macular degeneration, so her eyesight fails,” she said, adding, “Looking at the horses. in the field it was a real pleasure for her, but now all you can see is this straw wall. She has lived here for 40 years and has never seen anything like it. Until now, the scrolls have always been used elsewhere in their land. “

However, it is not the first green wall raised by Bett. She first she built one ten feet high, but when Turner saw it, she destroyed it. And he added that Bett upset the neighbors about three years ago by planting a strip of leylandii trees near the perimeter of his mansion to hide his view of about four houses, including his mother’s three-bedroom bungalow, on a dead end street called Fight of the shepherd.
That first row of conifers, which started out as a young tree, grew to about two meters. But on the night of last July 2nd, 95 specimens were shot down by a mysterious attacker. In response, and believing Turner to be the culprit, Bett’s employees responded by building a wall of hay bales in front of Ms. Turner’s yard, stacked on top of each other to initially form a 15-foot-high barrier.
The image shows the focus of the conflict: the driveway to Bett’s house leads to the back of the Turners’ house. There the haystacks were arranged.
Since then, both families have felt threatened by each other, to the point of contact the local police. However, the police authorities, while responding to both the complaint for damage to the trees and for the demolition of the first straw wall, did not believe that any crime had been committed and decided not to intervene in the subsequent litigation.
“The police say they can’t do anything because it is not a crime. They say there is no law against being vindictive, “Turner said.
