Excuse Me, Sir, There’s An Island In My Garden
Yes, we all dream of someone transforming our back yard, but this story is a variation on the theme. A Polish woman came back from holiday to find the local council had built a traffic island and a new road in her back garden. But when Alicja Ziemowit complained she was told a change in the law meant local council officials could use private land for road building without consent and without paying compensation. A spokesman for the local council in Lodz said: "I don't know why she is complaining, it is not a busy road, and she can still get to the back of her garden quite easily."
FOOTNOTE: Putting the cars before the hoarse.
Shifty shifty Poles, one wonders if its not a busy road, why it was put there in the first place.

ReplyDeleteI guess the council is made up of former communists looking to make a comeback
ReplyDeleteG'day Your Eminence,
ReplyDeleteBecause they wanted to smell the roses in her garden, I guess.

OMG I'd go spare if someone did that to my garden!
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be kidding! Talk about abuse of power regarding imminent domain. At least it's not a 'busy' road. Maybe she should open a toll booth.
ReplyDeleteThe joys of emminent domain at work. I like City's idea - to install a toll booth. But that would cause even more governmental problems I'm sure. funny how it happened while she was on vacation though. . .
