Railway challenge
Hi I am hoping that someone can help given the expertise on this forum and someone will take up this challenge.
We live at 530 Littleworth Road Rawnsley Cannock, Staffordshire, WS12 1JD and a number of years ago contacted the attached companies in relation to the ownership of a strip of land by the side of our home. We was informed at the time that the land is question either belongs to UK Coal or the Railways Authority.
This land forms the top part of an embankment on an old mineral railway line. The issue we have is our neighbour a Shopkeeper who has adopted this land and is using it to store rubbish, scrap metal etc. This section of land is the view we have from the front of our home and as you can appreciate is extremely unsightly.
We have reported the matter to Cannock Council Planning department who are struggling to enforce anything at this time due to the owner saying he has been using it for 10 years plus.
I have attached
1, a copy of a land document with the area in question identified with hatch markings.
2, photos of the land mentioned and a view from our home.
3, Letters from companies dated 2004 which relates to the land by the side of our home (not the land the shop keeper is using) to help identify the plot. however i have struggled to contact these businesses given the length of time passes
We hope that there is budding railways detectives who can track down who owns the old mineral line and establish who are the owners of this unregistered land.
We hope that you can assist and help with our desperate situation and if anyone who takes up this challenge wants any more info please contact.
Kind regards and many thanks given to this consideration
Ian and Vikki
