how did the council in poulton lancs describe a flower display they wanted removed for a house

[squarebear]

They said the house was too pretty:

"... Meanwhile, a local UK council has ordered a green-fingered couple to remove a flower display from their house - because it's too pretty.

Barry and Betty Atack were told a trellis on their 200-year-old home "detracts from the area's architectural simplicity.

Betty said: "We rang the council and a lady said our house was too pretty. They don't want us to have hanging baskets either. It's potty."

Lancaster City Council claim the 72-year-olds who have won trophies for their garden in Poulton, Lancs agreed to maintain the house's character after getting a �6,000 renovation grant. But defiant Betty said: "That trellis was there before they started. It's staying. They can send me to jail if they like."
