A couple have accused council bosses of being "unreasonable" by refusing to cut back a tree they feel is spoiling their garden.
Susan and David Riley moved into their home on Goodwood Avenue in Bensham, Gateshead, three years ago and say they have spent a large sum of money renovating the garden, Chronicle Live reports.
But the couple say their efforts have been ruined by a large tree nearby and are calling on the council to take action.
