A resident in Hampden Park who ignored a council order to tackle a ‘horrendously overgrown’ garden, has been hit with a charge on their house.
The council was forced to take action to clear the eyesore following complaints from neighbours in Park Avenue.
There homeowner had promised that the garden would be cleared within three months, but nothing was done.
Eastbourne Borough Council contractors had to cut through bushes to access the garden before starting the two-day clearance operation.
Councillor Colin Swansborough, Cabinet Member for Place Services, said:
“Taking enforcement action is a last resort, but those who ignore the advice of our officers should be in no doubt that we will take direct action if needed.
“Quite understandably some residents in Park Avenue wanted this horrendously overgrown garden jungle cut back."
