well we had the meeting the other week with the council about taking our gardens, they say they have to take our garden to make it viable to build more houses, if you see how many they want to build i think you would be angry as well. When we were shown the plans i will only have a postage stamp size left, last year we paid out for fencing so our 3 dogs could have a nice big run, this time next week it will all be gone,they have yet to make their mind up about a public foot path between mine and my neighbours which i might add will go past my bed room and bathroom windows NOT HAPPY.
The reason why they want to hurry this we think is because this area in the next year or so will become a national park which will be harder for them to build on.
We have another meeting july 2nd, will keep you informed.
Thanks for reading this got to get it off my chest.

Oh Nita how sad and disheartening for you all, To lose most of your garden and your lovely dogs to lose there run is heartbreaking, I think i would try for another house or exchange..

This is just not fair. You have done so much to your garden and so many beautiful flowers. I pray and hope they change their minds.

I'd be unhappy and angry too, as Daisydee said, couldn't you try to be moved?

Nita. I do hope the council change their mind. I'm sure they could find some neglected areas that they could build on, and leave your garden alone. I wish you luck with your problem.
