Helene Ball, an 81-year-old resident, recently won a legal battle against Derbyshire County Council regarding access to her garden. Following the court ruling, which established her right of way, the council placed two concrete blocks near her home to prevent unauthorized parking and protect the area as they prepare to open a car park entrance.
Ball expressed frustration over the council's actions, feeling that the new blocks are an unnecessary obstacle despite her legal victory. The council has acknowledged its previous mistakes and is working to ensure her access is maintained.
