A South Tyneside dad says he's at breaking point after a four-year wrangle over the back garden at his 'perfect family home'.
And Anthony Dixon claims that his four-year-old son, Jay, who was diagnosed with autism after the family moved into their newly-built home in Hebburn, is 'caught in the middle' of a row with Barrett Developments North East, who built the detached house.
Mr Dixon, 34, who is a physiotherapist as Sunderland and South Tyneside NHS Trust, says that sensory play is vital for little Jay, but his outdoor toys remain unused as he and his wife, Nichola, dare not let their son into the garden of the £238,000 house, which they say they chose specifically because it was west-facing and they thought would be perfect for their son to grown up in.
