A once attractive green space outside homes in Coventry has become a dangerous eyesore, residents said, after being destroyed by parked cars.
The land on Langley Croft, Tile Hill, is home to a 350-year-old oak tree but has been steadily eroded over the last few years.
Pedro Olivier, who lives opposite, said it was once a “peaceful place for the kids to play and for us to enjoy” but described it as looking like “a war zone – it looks like trenches from the First World War.”
Citizen Housing, which is responsible for the land, said it was “committed to working with partners and residents to find a constructive way forward”.
