Moment ‘bullying’ family use chainsaws to hack down their neighbour’s 33ft Leylandii trees and wooden fence after ‘invading’ their garden in eight-year boundary dispute
A neighbour dispute in the UK escalated into a filmed confrontation after one family used chainsaws to cut down 33ft Leylandii trees and a wooden fence belonging to next door, which they accused of "invading" their garden. The row, which has reportedly rumbled on for eight years, saw the family carrying out the felling branded "bullying" by the other side, highlighting how long-running boundary disagreements between neighbours can boil over into direct, confrontational action.
The footage shows the trees and fence being hacked down amid accusations from the affected household that their neighbours had encroached onto their property. The dispute has persisted for eight years without apparent resolution, with tensions reportedly building until the chainsaw incident brought matters to a head; further details of any formal action, such as police involvement or legal proceedings, were not specified in the available report.
