A furious couple have been banned from putting flower pots on their balcony after the council deemed them a fire hazard.
Julie and Derek Lee spend hundreds of pounds a year lovingly decorating the outside of their first floor flat with hanging baskets and plants.
The couple have kept their floral displays outside their home in Maryland Court, in Stapleford, Notts., for 20 years.
Now Broxtowe Borough Council have ordered the couple to remove the pots and flowers, citing health and safety reasons.
