An 89-year-old woman faces having her allotment of 30 years taken away by a council because she has started growing flowers instead of vegetables.
Edith Avery said she was told by Rogerstone Community Council that her plot, just a few feet from her back door, would be cleared because she had not complied with regulations.
Mrs Avery, of Cefn Road, Rogerstone, near Newport, south Wales, said it was “a shock and a worry” as she was given 14 days to clear the plot or the council would arrange it and charge her.
