A 90-year-old grandfather has been reported to the police by his local council - for clearing land behind his home.
Keith Ramsell paid contractors £1,300 to chop down the"wall of vegetation" in Bushey, after falling and injuring his arm.But when he emailed them to say he'd completed the job himself he was told he had committed criminal damage - and the police had been informed.Annoyed, Keith, a retired university professor, shot back a week later and said he had approached a passing police officer - to hand himself in.
“And I felt very cross and very concerned about my two neighbours who lived in the dark, because they had this wall of vegetation right up to their windows." Emails show Keith contacted the council about the area, off Moatfield Recreation Ground, in June 2022 - calling it a"matter of great concern".But a council email dated April 2023 said no further work was planned.
After his unsuccessful attempt to hand himself in, Keith replied to the council - asking the police to"kindly get on with it".
