A furious homeowner has blasted developers who ripped out a 20ft hedge from outside her house – leaving her with a view of a huge building site. Jeanette Reid, 60, was gutted when she saw a digger tearing down the shrubbery which she and her husband have maintained for 22 years.
Now she and husband Nigel, 61, have a 135-house building site directly opposite their home. Builders tore out the hedge from the front of her home last month.
The fuming gran now opens her bedroom window and can see straight onto the site of the sprawling Avant Homes estate. Jeanette moved into the four-bedroom detached home with Nigel in 2000 and the couple have maintained the hedge ever since.
