A family of four living on a farm are receiving threats from their neighbours who purchased the land which provides access to their home and told them they cannot pass through it. Matthew and Charis Watkinson bought their land in Newport, southwest Wales, in 2011 and, in 2016 they made a planning application to build a sustainable home on Beeview Farm for their family.
However, since then Matthew revealed there was a falling out between the couple and their neighbours Ian and Vivienne Ward who bought the lane which provides access to their farm. According to the Watkinsons, the retired couple started threatening to sue them for trespassing every time they drive the road to go home, the Mirror reports.
Mr Watkinson explained: "We weren't expecting people to buy this bit of land as it is a right of way. The access lane runs past their house and a bit further." Mr Watkinson added that their relationship with their neighbours has always been 'unpleasant' but their lives have became much more stressful with the constant threats over the access lane.
