A Sheffield City council tenant could face jail unless she cleans up her garden.
Angela Bishop, 51, of Ash Street, Mosborough, Sheffield magaistrates court was told that she had household items strewn across the garden, littering the premises.
A court has told her; unless she cleans up her garden she could face some a fine or a possible prison sentence.
Miss Bishop must remove all rubbish and household items by April 14 this year and must keep her garden tidy after that. The order is to remain in force as long as she remains a tenant of the property.
The state of the garden first came to Sheffield Councils attention in November 2007.
Since then, numerous letters have been sent and contact made in order to persuade Bishop to tidy the garden.
She did make some attempt, prior to the hearing, however, there were still various household items on the garden, and there is the concern that if an order was not in place, Bishop would allow the garden to become overgrown once again.
A neighbour said: “No one should have to live next door to such an unpleasant sight like this.
Bishop was also ordered to pay the Council’s costs of having to bring the application to court.
After the court hearing Cllr Bob McCann, said: “I hope she heeds this warning and cleans up her act.”
