Neighbours are in a long-running dispute over a hedge that blocks a view of Hulton Park. Phil Lamey and Richard Grundy have been arguing since 2022, when Lamey accused Grundy of deliberately obstructing his sightline, according to reports.

Coverage focuses on the same core claim: a substantial hedge has been installed and has become the source of the feud. The Mirror and Manchester Evening News both highlight the protracted nature of the “war of words” between the neighbours over the park view. The Daily Express adds extra detail about the earlier boundary arrangements described as an unauthorised shed and fence, which it says were later replaced with the 10ft evergreen hedge.
