No 31 St James, Wantage sides onto my house. The house to the left of picture 1. It is owned by a single man who apparently went to stay with his Mother during the first lockdown . He has not been seen since. He has lived here for over 15 years and has never done any gardening. We, and surrounding neighbours have kept things under some degree of control, especially keeping the footpath into Wantage clear. We have chased 2 youths away from his back garden during the summer and have noted the gate open in the last 3 weeks. I have been told by a local that the police are involved and that the owner is reported as missing. We are elderly and can't continue to keep the path clear with the state of the brambles. We are also concerned about squatters or others targeting the house as it is so obviously empty. HELP!!
