A father of four could lose the garden he’s used for years as the local council wants to build on it. Marcus Jeanton said he and his family have faced “months of stress” after Brent Council said they were going to build on land next to their home.
This includes the bulk of a garden they have been using since they first moved in back in 2002. They built a permanent gazebo and a specialist shed for their disabled daughter on the land.
Marcus said he had been left “confused” by the situation as all roads pointed to the garden being part of their home. A 2009 letter from Brent Housing Partnership, which once managed Brent Council properties, referred to the space as “your garden”.
