A 79-year-old woman in Wiltshire has been allowed to continue tending the flower bed in a traffic island, on condition she wears a reflective jacket.An official from Wiltshire county council spotted Mrs June Turnbull tending the plot in August, and she was ordered to stop unless she complied with health and safety rules. These would have involved wearing high visibility clothing, putting up signs, and working with a partner.
Mrs Turnbull said:
I was very angry, I mean it seems so petty bothering with what I do here. There's just no point.
But now the council has relented, and she is allowed to continue improving the flower bed she has tended for six years.
Go granny! Or should I say "Grow, granny!"
