A woman is considering putting up a 20-foot fence to stop her neighbours...CONTINUE READING
prying eyes over her before summer comes around next year. Although it seems like a long way off, disgruntled homeowner Kayleigh is exploring options of how to stop her neighbours having a peek when she will be sunbathing topless in the summer.
She revealed earlier this year she’d caught them snooping while she was topping up her tan, she hopes a fence will ensure her a little more privacy as she admitted she she loves to strip down to her bare skin in order to appreciate the sunshine.
Mum Kayleigh says she can feel her neighbour’s ‘wandering eyes’ when she’s sunbathing in her garden
The 34-year-old who actively posts on Instagram and TikTok, revealed that she gets topless “quicker than you can light a BBQ” when the sun is shining, and will be out there up to four times a week in peak summer time. She told The Sun: “I see the blinds and curtains twitching and I’m sure some of the neighbours fancy me while others are appalled by me. I can feel a wandering eye coming over the fence.”
“I find it a breach of privacy really. People should mind their own business and stop being on neighbourhood boob watch. Nothing is too drastic when it comes to me being able to do some topless sunbathing without any interruptions,” she admitted.
While the social media star already has a decent-sized wooden fence already built, she’s convinced that she needs additional privacy to keep out prying eyes. While the blaring heat may convince other people to strip down to avoid messy tan lines, they should be wary that could be breaking the law in their own private garden.
In England and Wales, it is not an offence to be naked in public, but there are caveats attached as you cannot be nude with the intention of causing “distress or alarm” – as this is an offence under Section 66 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The Crown Prosecution Service says: “In the case of naturism a balance needs to be struck between the naturist’s right to freedom of expression and the right of the wider public to be protected from harassment, alarm and distress.”
While you might be on your own property, it’s often fairly easy to catch a glimpse of your neighbour’s garden, even if you don’t intend on snooping. This means that even though you’re not necessarily naked in public, you could still cause “distress or alarm” to your neighbours – although you’re only breaking the law if you “intended” to do so.
