A man planted more than 2,000 flowers along a road only for them to be mowed down by the council after they bloomed.
Chris Truett, 51, spent £200 on the tulips and daffodils which he dug into the empty grass strip beside Rotten Row - one of the most iconic streets in Southport, Merseyside.
It took Chris eight days to plant the flowers on the mile-long verge and they bloomed earlier this month.
