Please someone give me advice, I live in a gf maisonette, there is a cupboard in the garden which use to be an area where the upstairs flats store their bins. When I moved in I noticed that the area had a door which led to the upstairs flats. I enquired this with the council and was told that years ago the upstairs flats use to store their bins in the area but that no longer applies as the bins are now kept at the front of the building and that my garden Is sole use. Next door put up a door to block of the area so she has privacy when this use to occur.
Well after 4 years of living here I am now being told that the bins will be returning to this area. Meaning upstairs flats will be able to access my garden and my children play out in the garden so I’m not really happy with random people (I don’t know any of them there has been 3 different people in the flat above me in 4 years and the other flat I have no idea about) being able to walk in.
I’ve put up a bamboo screen temporarily to mark a boundary and for privacy but I would like to add something more permanent and more private but I can’t afford what next door has done (see pics) I was thinking of maybe a 6ft fence panel but when asking for ideas on a diy site I was told there is no way my garden is sole use and must be shared if they have access to the cupboard. But the council said it was sole use. Any ideas? It’s such a random set up for a garden that it’s hard to even explain it to anyone.
