A couple blame a Morrisons van for alleged £25,000 damage to £200,000 dream garden - which supermarket values at £746. Stan Wainwright, 71 and Sharon Wainwright 67, have a luxury front lawn complete with a centre piece, water feature and two large fountains.
According to the couple, a Morrisons delivery driver drove into a wall on January 11, while delivering their weekly shop. Stan alleges the van clipped the brick pillar "damaging it beyond repair" and damaged the electricity boxes - leaving the fountains without power and exposing live and dangerous cables.
Now the fountains have dried up and filled with algae, he says. They claim the damage will cost £25,000 to put right - more than 30 times the amount the supermarket has apparently offered in compensation. Stan, a former TV shopping channel demonstrator said: “I have tried everything to get some cooperation from Morrisons and their insurance company and they are just not interested.
