Large fine for woman who failed to tidy overgrown garden and repair house
A woman who failed to tidy up her overgrown garden and repair her house has been ordered to pay nearly £600.
Lorna Rhodes appeared at Dudley Magistrates Court on Friday where she admitted being the owner or occupier of land who failed to comply with notice to maintain land.
The court heard how she had been told to remove all overgrown vegetation from both the front and rear of the land, cut back overgrown trees, repair or replace the fence adjacent to the highway, repair the front entrance doorway, repair the roof and dispose of all subsequent waste.
