Scots mum-to-be fuming as neighbours’ fence restricts pram access to garden
A fuming Edinburgh mum-to-be has been left unable to access her garden after neighbours built a new fence in the middle of the area.
Lorraine Smith, who is currently eight months pregnant, is unable to get her buggy into the back garden and says her elderly grandparents' access to the garden has also been cut off.
The mum-to-be, who regularly stays at her grandparent's home in Oxgangs and cares for them, says the fence has left her without access to their back garden and gate, making it difficult for her grandparents to use the steps.

"As it's an old coal mine house, the back garden is communal and so are the steps at the back of the property. When they moved in last August they were told that is was a communal garden and was split in half so anything that they wanted to build had to be put in a letter to my grandparents.
"Last Thursday, February 23, I came to the house and saw the joiner building the fence. When the neighbours were planning on building it, they told my grandparents but did not say that it would take up one metre of their land.

Lorraine continued: "They have literally taken up half of the steps with the fence and built their own, which makes no sense. They also charged my grandparents £600 for the fence.
"I'm getting advice from a lawyer and they are drafting up a letter to inform the family that the fence has to be moved further towards their porch or taken down.
"My nana is in tears due to the whole situation and it's so sickening as they have lived here their whole lives. I have tried to speak with the neighbours again but they basically slammed the door in my face
"They asked why I would need access with a pram to the garden but that's nothing to do with them and it saves me walking all the way around to get access to the park."

So is there liquid water under the Martian ice cap or not?,So, is there liquid water in a subglacial lake under the south polar cap of Mars or not? Given the brutally cold sub-freezing temperatures on Mars, especially at the south pole, you'd think the answer would obviously be no. But it's not at all that clear, and two papers came out this week arguing on opposite sides of the idea. Seriously. This was a press release headline on Monday: "Hope for Present-Day Martian Groundwater Dries Up."
