A couple who claim an 11 year dispute over their neighbour's 36ft hedge has sent their energy bills soaring have taken their fight to the government.
Gary and Joanna Short claim they have been left frustrated over utility costs and lack of sunlight caused by trees belonging to Eliza Wylie.
They said trees between their properties in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, have ruined their enjoyment of their £500,000 family home.
