    Woman evicted for hoarding fruit and vegetables

    A Willand woman's been evicted from her Mid Devon District Council home for leaving the place over-ridden with rotting food.


    The garden was also in a mess and an exit door was blocked.

    The council says keeping cut-price fruit and vegetables and leaving them to rot is called wet-hoarding.

    Its housing officers worked with the tenant for two years but she didn't accept that her hoarding was a health hazard to the family or the neighbours, and eviction was the only option.
