family has been ordered to remove part of its Christmas display or face potential fines following a complaint to council from a self-proclaimed "Grinch".
"The ranger said the person even called themselves 'the Christmas Grinch' when they called up," a family member told 9News.com.au.A NSW family has been ordered to remove part of their Christmas display or face potential fines following a complaint to council from a self-proclaimed "Grinch". At the centre of the complaint are three posts that sit on the family's nature strip which hold a string of fairy lights suspended from the roof of their home.
"Last year we had the lights strung up by the trees, we didn't receive any complaints," a family member said. They argued their structure posed less of a hazard compared to the Liquidambars, which had uprooted the road and caused damage to their driveway.
