A local council has been branded "spiteful" after putting up fences and "barricading" an elderly resident and a young family into their homes.
Residents of Cavendish Road in Matlock, Derbyshire, were given just a couple of days' notice when the car park was closed and barriers were put at the entrance on April 21.
Just a few days later, Derbyshire County Council also installed two fence panels across the rear garden gates of two properties in George Road, which lead onto the car park, and cemented them into the ground.
