Couple get hedge fine
A COUPLE have been fined £2,000 for letting their garden hedges to grow too tall.
Robert and Nicola Johnston were yesterday each fined 1,000 fine by Worcester magistrates for breaching a notice ordering them to trim two hedges at their home in Eckington, Worcestershire.
Wychavon District Council said the hedges "exceed the reasonable height for the location" of about four metres. During a site visit in 2008, the hedges were recorded as being six metres high.
