the tree from one neighbour over hanging the others driveway,
photographs Lee McLean/SWNS, the
story happened in Waterthorpe, a suburb of Sheffield, England, the tree located
on the edge of Bharat Mistry’s property, extended its evergreen crown on the driveway
of Irene and Graham Lee, which meant that nesting birds made a mess of the driveway
of Irene and Graham, a comprises was tried but without success, the Lees took matters into their own hands and hired an
arborist to cut the tree in half and remove its branches from their property,
it
has been three years since the half-cut tree of Waterhope drew attention to the
Sheffield suburb, but it has proven more than a temporary attraction, many days
people stop by to take photos and even post the occasional review on Google,
“I just think it’s funny. I think it’s been trimmed back
again because you’d have thought it would have grown back by now,” one
Waterhope woman told The Independent, “It looks awful. They’re going to be at one another’s throats now, but it’s done, you can’t undo it. We’ve got a war on our hands with them two,” another neighbour said,
according to recent news reports, the
two neighbours are still not talking to each other, and Mr. Bharat claims that
he is still distraught about how his neighbours chose to deal with the 25-year-old
fir tree, “We pleaded and pleaded with them not to do it, but their mind was
made up,” he said. “That tree was coming down. I believe he has the right to
cut down anything that is overhanging onto his property. But you have to ask,
why after 25 years would you do that?” hopefully if you have any disputes with
your neighbour it will be resolved more amicably!
