We are the dominant party of an easement which allows us right of carriageway down a driveway to a carport . In addition, we also have the right to travel through a farmgate to a paddock if we, visitors or service drivers need to turn around. This is on our title. For the second time in several years our neighbour has placed a padlock on the gate. I contacted the council who brushed me off saying it was not their responsibility. I contacted the police who, after referencing information on their computer said that it was definitely the council's responsibility. Police also said that we could legally angle grind the padlock. We know that if we did that, another padlock would soon turn up.So who is responsible for assisting us in this situation?Three of us are affected by this childish behaviour.
