A quaint cobbled street has become an "eyesore" that is "totally oppressive and depressing," angry neighbours have claimed. Residents say their street has been ruined by a 2m fence put up near their properties.
A planning application had been submitted to retain a nearly 2m fence up put around the car park at the back of a nursery. Several objections had been received to the application by local residents unhappy with the fence.
According to a council report produced ahead of a planning meeting recently held in Knowsley, Liverpool, residents said it had made the street “dark and dreary”, had blocked light in the gardens of neighbouring properties and is “totally oppressive and depressing," The Echo reports.
