Man devastated after discovering 'unusable' new-build garden needs £6,000 makeover

A man who is suffering from a terminal illness has been told that he will need to pay £6,000 to fix up his "unusable" garden.

Keith Watson, 65, is "devastated" after he moved into a new-build council owned property. The garden is on a steep downwards slope, which is difficult for Mr Watson as he has mobility problems.

He has lived in the property since April, and says he now feels "trapped" in the property. The housing provider, Trent & Dove, have said they will not help in paying the costs to repair the garden.
