A neighbourly dispute over a tree between two drives turned into a “war” when one homeowner cut the intrusive evergreen in half. Bharat Mistry, 56, said his next-door neighbour had complained of nesting pigeons dirtying his side of the divide in Waterthorpe, Sheffield (UK). The two tried to reach an “amicable” solution, he said, before the other resident called a tree surgeon.
Mr Mistry’s neighbour was unavailable for comment. The other couple first asked for the tree to be removed last March, Mr Mistry said. This led to “several discussions” about trimming it back or installing nets to prevent birds from nesting. The tree has since become a tourist attraction after photos of it were shared online, with people making trips to see it.
