A Statement from Victoria Huyeng Myers CEO, Ice Phoenix Consulting Engineers to set the record straight

Clarifying the Facts Behind Misleading Tabloid Claims

Ownership and Fence Removal

CLAIM: The Myers ‘stole' Rosa and Murray Bell’s garden

FACT: The disputed area belonged to the Myers. Rosa and Murray Bell dismantled the Myers’ legal fence and installed their own fence beyond their boundary, despite advice from their own solicitor confirming they had no legal claim to that land, which remains in the Myers’ ownership.

Advance Notification

CLAIM: 'Everything was done when we are away abroad'

FACT: Before any boundary-related works began, written notice was provided to Rosa and Murray Bell. These were either hand-delivered or sent via email, providing between several days to months notice of the planned works.

Confirmations of receipt were obtained, including via their legal representatives, who had many opportunities to submit an injunction to stop the works, but all of them elected not do so.

Construction Conduct

CLAIM: 'Contractors worked on our garden'

FACT: All construction occurred within the Myers’ legal boundary, or with verbal permission from Rosa Bell for the use of the shared access between the two houses. This was witnessed and confirmed by two police officers.

Obstructions and items belonging to Rosa and Murray Bell, such as the garden shed, vehicle, patio/paving and other physical barriers placed on title land legally owned by the Myers, were trespassing.

In such cases, the Myers may remove these obstructions from their property. This legal position was also confirmed by the Judge during the hearing.

When Rosa and Murray Bell's garden shed was relocated, two police officers were present and confirmed that no damages had occurred. Two additional witnesses, a man and a woman who are friends or relatives of Rosa Bell, were also present and have verified that the shed was not damaged and that the patio and rear garden were left clear and tidy.

The Myers also sent several written notices asking Rosa and Murray Bell to remove these trespasses from the boundary, but the requests were either ignored or declined. Both of Rosa Bell's sons also refused the Myers' requests.

Shared Access Permission

CLAIM: 'No Permission' for access

FACT: Rosa Bell verbally confirmed to the two police officers present during construction that contractors were permitted to use the shared space between the two houses to complete their tasks. This was witnessed.

Boundary Dispute Protocol (BDP), Mediation Offers and Offer of a Three-Month Resolution Period

Contrary to claims that no effort was made to resolve matters amicably:

• The Myers initiated mediation in November 2020, with multiple follow-up offers across 2021–2025

• In 2021, the Myers invited Rosa and Murray Bell to participate in the Boundary Dispute Protocol (BDP), which they eventually accepted after initial resistance. However, they abandoned the protocol before reaching a written resolution, having admitted they would need to apply for adverse possession, for which they are ineligible under UK property law.

• In 2023, the Myers offered Rosa and Murray Bell a formal three-month stand-down period with options for legal resolution to settle the matter amicably. These were declined.

• Despite Rosa and Murray Bell consulting multiple solicitors, no application or legal ruling has changed the boundary status.

Rosa and Murray Bell are required to successfully apply for adverse possession if they wish to move the Myers fence from the legal paper title boundary.

Their refusal to accept the legal boundary does not change the fact that it remains clearly defined, professionally validated, and upheld by the courts.

False claim: 'Awaiting a ruling'

Since July 2023:

• The boundary has been aligned with HM Land Registry's title

• All construction has remained within Myers’ ownership

• Rosa and Murray Bell's continued reliance on informal maps and speculative interpretations has not been supported by any solicitor or court

They are ineligible to apply for adverse possession, and they have repeatedly declined offers for mediation or formal legal determination.

Their public storytelling, shared with tabloids, appears to be targeted harassment using misleading media, disproportionately focused on Victoria Huyeng Myers, while reporting on very little involvement of her husband, Michael Myers.

Editorial Misconduct: 'Declined to Comment'

Tabloids claimed Victoria declined to comment, yet:

• No article draft was shared

• No interview or questions were issued

• No opportunity to respond was provided, contrary to standard editorial practice

The result was a one-sided and unverified narrative, published without fact-checking or ethical journalism.

This isn’t balanced reporting. It’s narrative control without integrity.

Harassment, Police Reports & Ongoing Misrepresentation

Rosa and Murray Bells’ conduct has generated multiple police reports, including for criminal damage and racial abuse to the contractors, as well as directly at Mr and Mrs Myers.

These incidents have affected both Mr and Mrs Myers and their contractors, yet remain absent from all media accounts, including reports published by SWNS and the Daily Mail.

Ongoing Harassment and Attempted Narrative Control

Despite the resolution of the boundary matter, Rosa and Murray Bell continue to dispute the outcome, citing speculative historical maps and private interpretations.

These claims:

• Do not override legal title

• Do not entitle them to alter or obstruct the boundary

• Have been consistently rejected through legal channels

Our Commitment to Professional Integrity

The reputational consequences of this false narrative have been substantial, but our standards remain unchanged.

At Ice Phoenix Consulting Engineers, we continue to prioritise:

• Ethical practice
