Hungry sheep wrecking housing estate gardens after council blunder

Village gardens are being wrecked by free-roaming sheep who “use the housing estate as a toilet” due to a historic council blunder. Residents have had to put up with flocks of sheep invading their properties for years.

Councillors say “you can’t put a daisy in front of your house in that estate without something eating it and then c***ping it out the other end”. And now there are calls to install cattle grids on the main road through the village to fix the problem.

The issue was raised at a Gloucestershire council meeting, where a local councillor asked why the district council is not using the opportunity of a proposed housing development opposite side of the road to fix the problem they created, GloucestershireLive reports.
