[quote="tahir"]He's on the county council[/quote

I would tread slightly carefully then especially if you want anything from like planning permission (if they are responsible for it) - not sure what it is like round by you but shropshire county council deals with education, roads etc whereby district or borough council deal with planning so you may be ok - we never see our county councillors at all but I know how petty they can be at all levels

None of this detracts from the fact he is a lying b*****d and you owe him nothing

He's prominent on the Parish council too, apparently he's an agitator for local people to be more aware of planning appliactions and the issues that surround them

Just thinking about this, you should rather give him permission at *anytime* his way is not physically barred.
That way, he has no *long-term* incentive to damage the gate. He cannot access the route *without* permission, without admitting to criminal damage, so *he* cannot build any more rights. Either for himself, or the general public.

I've found someone who says they can help (legally) I'll raise this with him, thanks.

Oh...

- glad you have got some legal help with this - better to be preapred for any battle - however, the previous owners are good witnesses to the fact that the gate has always been locked

Good luck

A lot of the support workers are members of Unison.

OH has just called, her school was closed, she managed to get loads done without having the faff of having to teach those little things. We appear to have wandered like a County Councillor.
