A resident in Clifton is calling for a fence put up by Nottingham City Council around 12 years ago to be "made safe" again, after it broke earlier in the year and someone dumped asbestos in woodland at the back of her home. Due to bad weather earlier in the year and overgrowth, fencing at the back of Jane Wootton's property on Summerwood Lane was damaged.
The 71-year-old said someone gained access to the woodland earlier in the year and dumped asbestos near her home, as fencing on the entry at the side of her house which goes straight through to the woodland was also damaged. She got in touch with the City Council to have the asbestos removed, and it was.
Jane is also worried about trees overgrowing into her back garden because of the fence breaking and the potential for branches to either hit her or her husband, Philip Wootton, 84. She is also concerned over the potential for damage to be caused to their property. She wants the local authority to cut this back and stop the problem.
