We are a small development of 6 houses accessed by a common road from the main highway.
We have been here for 30 years. Out of the blue, the local farmer, who originally owned the
land on which the houses are built, is now wanting to charge us for access/use of the common road which he claims he still owns. Over the years the road has been surfaced and all services installed at the residents expense. During this time the road has been maintained by the residents also. Is he just 'chancing his arm' or does he have a claim after all these years.
