A woman has been accused of littering – after sweeping leaves into a pile.

Streetsweepers refused to remove the leaves at the end of Sandra Pote’s drive because some were in her garden.

Sandra, 61, thought she was doing the cleaning truck crew a favour as they drove down the road in Torquay, Devon.

But she was accused of fly-tipping by the council, reports the Sun.

Torbay council insisted the couple should have taken the leaves to a tip.

A spokesman said: “Householders have a responsibility to deal with leaves on their property.”
