'Britain's best man cave' remains standing despite court order

A millionaire accountant who illegally built 'Britain's best man cave' featuring a bowling alley, cinema and casino is accused of still not knocking it down despite suffering his fifth court defeat.

Neighbours of 70-year-old Graham Wildin, who built the 10,000sq/ft extension at the rear of his home back in 2014 without applying for planning permission, say it is still standing despite being ordered to demolish it nearly two months ago.

Ever since he has been involved in an ongoing battle over the luxury complex at the back of his home in Cirencester, Gloucesterhire, even serving six weeks in jail because of his defiance.

In March, Mr Wildin lost his fifth court battle, after three High Court judges declared it was right to jail him for defying court orders - despite claiming he had sold the building to a Mexican for just £1.

Those who live nearby to the stubborn pensioner, however, have rubbished these claims, saying it is another 'ploy' against the council.
