Neighbours of widow (91) agree to remove barrier
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 25 June 2019, the neighbours of 91‑year‑old widow Patricia Rochford agreed to remove a cement barrier that she said blocked her access to Adelaide Road. Rochford, who lives in the basement of her home and uses a wheelchair, had obtained a temporary injunction requiring the owners of a nearby office property – Mr Morgan Crowe, Ms Brid Large and Ms Mary Irving – to take down the obstruction. The barrier, located on a laneway behind the properties, had been erected by workers on behalf of Mr Crowe and included a 9‑ to 12‑inch step that Rochford claimed made the laneway impassable. During the hearing, Mr Crowe's solicitor, John Larney, expressed sympathy for Rochford and confirmed that his client would remove the barrier within a week.
