A landowner has buried a 'well-used' footpath under tons of soil with an industrial digger after a long-standing dispute with his neighbours.
Towards the end of last month the steps, which go up a steep hill, were covered in earth in “a complete fit of temper” by skip hire boss Christopher Rees, who bought the land on which they are situated two years ago.
Nearby residents have been left distraught with the actions and say that the route - a set of concrete steps - was an integral link between the tight-knit hillside community and the village below and has been in use since houses were first built there in the 1920s.
