A homeowner faces a whopping £3,000 charge after the council chopped down the 'jungle' that was growing outside a house.
The owner had left their garden to grow into an out-out-control "jungle", and the council had no other option but to cut down the shrubs and slap them with the hefty fine.
Despite the homeowners promising to sort out their garden after complaints, contractors from Eastbourne Borough Council were forced to attend the property.
