Unhappy Neighbours Block Right of Way

Hi,

Unfortunately, I am having some issues
with my neighbours.
One of the neighbours arranged to
put up a wooden door structure
to block the right of way which
gives access at the rear of our gardens.
He collected money from some of the
other neighbours who are affected
and called the builder who fitted
this structure.
This right of way is privately owned
property and does not belong
to any of the neighbours.
The problem I have is this door
is blocking my access to part of
my land, they have actually fixed
it so it extends well into my land.
Initially I contacted my neighbour
who arranged this structure and
he has flat out refused to
do anything about it, saying how
happy he and the other neighbours
are for this added security and I
shouldnt have a problem.
The next step, I contacted
the owner of the right of way
who put me in touch with his
managing agent - this agent
has told me verbally that
I should use a crowbar and
remove it if it is a problem
for me because the right of
way is suppose to be kept clear.

I was initially relieved to hear this
but am now wondering if
I can get done for vandalism
if I do remove it ?
And who's responsibility is it
to keep the right of way clear?

Smash it down! If you do have a right of way you can remove it by what ever means needed.
Check house inusrance; union membership etc. for legal cover.
