'Council demolished my garage without permission'

A Loughborough woman whose garage was demolished in May after a mix-up says she's lost around £10,000 worth of personal items.

The garage was one of four to be demolished after a council mistake over land ownership when a fallen tree damaged the roof. This led to a report of asbestos debris, the council said, adding the building was deemed "structurally unsafe", a "risk to life" and needed to be demolished.

But Charnwood Borough Council later said it had been "wrongly identified" that the council was the owner of the garages and apologised.

Ms Holliday says she has lost thousands of pounds worth of property after the contents of the garages were thrown into a tip and the demolition has devalued her home.

Annette has been speaking to BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman.

A Charnwood Borough Council spokesperson said: 'We would like to apologise to the owners of the site for this error and for any inconvenience and distress caused. We are now reviewing our processes to ensure a similar situation does not happen again.'
