Nanny has donned her jackboots again and have ordered a couple to remove a bed of dahlias from in front of their house because they are a ‘danger’ to drivers.
Brian and Sally Williams have been tending to the dahlias and shrubs on the narrow Hollin House Lane in Loxley, near Sheffield, for the last 28 years. They originally planted the blooms to encourage wildlife and bring colour to the area.
However, Sheffield council have sent them a letter telling them they have just a week to remove them or pay for it to be done by the authority. P
The couple’s daughter, Elizabeth Williams, said they were ‘absolutely devastated’ and that the flowers had been the only thing that helped her father through ill health.
Sheffield council told the BBC:
”We have sympathy with the nearby homeowner who has attempted to stop cars driving over the highway verge on what is a very narrow, single-track lane.Why take action now, after 28 years?
Unfortunately the placing of flower beds, as well as stones and water barrels, on the highway outside the property, could be a danger to other road users."
One single anonymous complaint!
The Metro reports that neighbours have set up a petition to get the council to change their mind and it already has more than 3,000 signatures.
