Re sorry been away from computer for a while……..its in the hands of the police regarding affray ( trying to cleave my skull open using 4ft if scaffold bar as a samurai sword), the offending roots/ foliage had already been trimmed back prior to his application of poison and subsequent ‘samurai’ attack…….I plan to install a root barrier system 30cm from his new unfinished fencing/gravel boards and the solicitors will negotiate a settlement hopefully………beyond trying to talk to him or his wife as he only communicates in four letter words……..that’s all folks, nothing to see here, move along 😆
