A DISABLED man says he was verbally abused by workmen when he complained that building works near his home have invaded his privacy.
Stephen Allen, 67 of Burrell Avenue in Colne, lives in a property owned by the Together Housing group and says that building at a nearby site on the former community centre on Glenroy Avenue have impacted his privacy and has affected his garden.
He says that his fence was removed by builders and that he lost a quarter of his garden space, where a new metal fence has been put in up preparation for a car park being built, and been left with no privacy in his bathroom and kitchen, with works taking place just 12-13 inches from his garden window.
