As residents of Porters Road and Banna Bungalows in Nantyglo, we are deeply troubled by the unauthorised occupation of land in our community. This issue is not merely a question of legality; it directly impacts our lives, devalues our properties and infringes on our privacy.

The encroachment has led to a significant decrease in property values. According to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), unauthorised occupations can reduce nearby property values by up to 20%. This situation is not only financially damaging but also emotionally distressing as we feel that our right to privacy is being violated.

We are calling for immediate action from local authorities to halt this unauthorised occupation. We believe that everyone has the right to live peacefully without fear of unlawful encroachments on their property or invasion of their privacy.

This petition is personal because it's about protecting what we hold dear - our homes, the value they represent and most importantly, our peace and privacy. We urge you all - residents, neighbours and concerned citizens - to join us in this fight against unlawful occupation.

Please sign this petition today so that together we can protect the sanctity and value of homes in Porters Road, Nantyglo.
