A woman returned home from the shops to discover her patio missing.
Laurie Penny had only left her home for a couple of hours when the council came and removed her tiles. Arriving back at the property, Laurie noticed the bare outdoor space and her furniture stacked up neatly.
Taking to social media, Laurie asked Islington Council why they had taken her patio. She tweeted: "This is awkward, but yesterday, I had a patio that I quite liked. This morning I popped out to the shops for a couple of hours, and now it’s…well, um, it’s gone. I know you’re busy, but could you tell me who took my patio, and perhaps also why?"
