'The right of way to our house is becoming unusable and the owner is ignoring us. Can we do the maintenance on the laneway ourselves?'
Briefly

Overhanging branches are blocking access on the laneway, which is also showing signs of surface damage. This lane serves as the only access point to the public road for a family. The family has been using this right of way without issue for years. They express concern over the landowner potentially blocking their maintenance efforts. Clarification is sought regarding who is responsible for the upkeep of the laneway and if the owner can stop maintenance efforts.
The laneway is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate due to overhanging branches that are blocking our passage and the surface of the lane is deteriorating.
Our right of way over the neighbouring field is crucial, as it serves as the only access route for us to reach the public road.
We are concerned about the possibility of being obstructed by the landowner who may not be willing to allow us to maintain the lane.
Clarification is needed on who holds the responsibility for maintaining the laneway and whether the owner can prevent us from taking necessary actions.
