Simon and Elizabeth Meaton whose well cared for garden was wrecked by neighbour Martin Lewis – with a JCB. See MASONS story MNJCB: A furious householder destroyed his next-door-neighbour’s garden with a JCB digger in a bitter dispute over a boundary, a court heard. Martin Lewis, 60, jumped into the machine and went on destructive rampage that caused £7,000 worth of damage to the garden of his neighbour’s detached home. He demolished part of Simon and Elizabeth Meaton’s garden, mowing down a boundary fence, a fence around a vegetable patch and bulldozed trees, plants and flowers. Details of the astonishing rampage were given when the HGV driver appeared before Maidstone Crown Court where he admitted a single charge of criminal damage.
