A couple who built a fence to block out eyesore garages next to their home has been been ordered to tear it down or face being fined £20,000.
Michael and Sarah Laing erected the 5ft fence to shield their garden from dilapidated lock-ups and had concerns a "crumbling" wall was a safety hazard for their young child.
But they were left stunned when West Lothian Council ruled they had built the fence without planning permission and slapped them with an enforcement notice.
