PHOTO: Neighbour’s new fence blocks beautiful sea views
A New Plymouth couple are hoping for council intervention after a neighbour erected a 2.3m fence, blocking their Taranaki sea views.
As featured last night on TVNZ 1’s Fair Go programme, Marilynn and Roy Bridger were surprised to one day see tradesmen working on the fence, and despite quizzing them on what was happening, the fence went up the very same day.
The wall – a tall, wooden number – completely blocked the couple’s view of the sea from their back porch, with Marilynn saying they “haven’t even bothered to fill up the spa” anymore.
They wrote to the neighbour in the adjoining property, but he didn’t respond, so they called the New Plymouth District Council.
