Default Leylandii hell!!

hello, I am a newbie, both on this site and to gardening. I have a long, narrow, northish facing garden in Kent, which is completly shadowed down one side by 2 neighbours leylandii trees. This means that I do not get any sunlight until late afternoon in the summer and not at all in the winter. My neighbours refuse to cut them, and although a new law comes in this year, I understand that access to light is not a good enough reason to have them cut back. The trees also mean that anything I have tried to plant near them either dies or does badly. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can plant that will thrive in their shade ? any help very much appreciated.
thanks
