Save Rose Cottage flower border
Save Rose Cottage flower border
Why is this important?
I am writing this petition for my elderly mum who is nearly 93, she lives in a small historic cottage in the village of Dalton Piercy dating back to 1750 that is a listed building.
In front of the cottage is a very pretty small border of roses and flowers that looks fantastic. It was in situ when the house was purchased in 1967
We have recently received a letter from the local Parish Council giving us 14 days to remove all flowers and roses otherwise they will employ a contractor to do it and charge us. The reason given is that the border is on registered green
This seems very unfair, as other houses adjacent the green appear to have small areas of garden or other encroachments that also appear to be on registered village green
My mother is housebound and in deteriorating health, the house and flowers have been her pride and joy for 50 years.
The threat of the needless destruction of such a pretty flower border is causing her huge distress and anxiety.
