A GIANT “Jack and the beanstalk” tree is ruining locals’ lives – but the council won’t chop it down.

Residents in Winchester, Hants, slammed the “grotesquely irresponsible” and “ludicrous” 45 foot high oak.

They say the tree was planted around 50 years ago by a previous homeowner on Canon Street who just “wanted something to do”.

But now it has branched into an “out of proportion” eyesore which overshadows the gardens of nearby properties – where the average house price is more than £600,000.

However, the council have refused to cut it down and placed it under a protection order.

The authorities said residents from a neighbouring street “appreciated” the tree.

The decision has sparked outrage among locals who are actually dealing with the daily repercussions of such an overwhelming tree.

Orla Williams, 40, moved into her terraced Grade II Listed home with her partner around two years ago.

The doctor said after moving in, several residents went to her about the oak.

She explained: “They were concerned that it is getting very large and that it could cause damage to their properties and potentially harm to people if it gets any larger, so they wanted it to be taken down.

“We applied to the council to have it removed and someone came to look at it.

“[The tree officer] said that they want to put a tree protection order on it.”

The mum-of-two also told how an “awful lot of detritus” falls from the tree in autumn and winter.

She added: “We appreciate that the tree is beautiful but it’s the wrong tree in the wrong place.

“It is quite sad to remove something like that but it is only going to get bigger and potentially cause damage to lots of properties which is the main concern.

“The council said they were concerned about removing it because it’s one of the only trees in the area.

Mark Pocock slammed the council’s decision to protect the tree as “ludicrous”[/caption]

“All of the local residents seem to be of the opinion that unfortunately, it’s the wrong tree in the wrong place.”

According to a council report, the tree officer visited Orla after receiving notice from the couple that it was due to be felled.

But he found the tree met the criteria for a provisional protection order, which was issued in February of this year.

A Winchester County Council meeting will take place next week to decide whether the tree status will change or not.

There are nine residents in total who have objected to the order.

Mark Pocock, a retired resident living on Canon Street, slammed the council’s decision to protect the tree as “ludicrous”.

He said: “As trees grow older they become more brittle.

“If it were to fall and damage properties or persons, I would say the responsibility would be entirely with the council – not the owners of those properties.

“I think putting a tree protection order on is grotesquely irresponsible of the council.

“It could be a danger to property and life.”

Nick Goff, 80, said he fears if the tree continues to grow, the roots underneath will damage a medieval wall in his garden, which was built in the Tudor era.

The retired British Airways pilot said: “The issue is that in 10 years time, that will be double the height and double the width.

“It put on six feet last year it it’s going to put on another six feet this year.”

He commissioned an independent report from a tree consultancy business.

The report stated while the tree, which is still a “teenager” is in “good physiological condition”.

But the officer also found it is “a large sized tree in a very small area” and so the tree protection order is “unjustified”.

The report also stated “the possibility of longer term damage to the retaining walls and footings of the adjacent properties as entirely foreseeable”.

“Some guy planted this as something to do 40 years ago,” Mr Goff continued “Now, we have got Jack and the Beanstalk.

“It’s not a historic tree – it’s a silly mistake.”

However, the council report issued ahead of next week’s meeting claimed these concerns were “speculative” and the tree “contributes meaningfully to local biodiversity and visual amenity”.

It added: “It is also the last significant tree in an area of land between Canon Street and St Swithun’s Street, enhancing the character of the conservation area.”

Retired resident Graham Rule, 62, blasted the decision as “irresponsible”.

He said: “We all love trees but that shouldn’t be there.

“The people who want the protection order, they don’t live here – its totally irresponsible.”

Winchester County Council was contacted for comment.

AFTER tucking into the smoked salmon, pesto and cream cheese brioche hand­ed to me by a smiling attendant, I reclined in my seat while the landscape flashed by.

It might sound like the first-class cabin of an airline, but I’m actually on a Polish train.

The intercity high-speed trains that run from the pretty port city of Gdansk on the Baltic coast down to the stately southern city of Krakow are the finest way to see Poland.

And a first-class ticket, complete with food, drink and a rolling vista of wonderful views, costs around £40 for the 300-mile journey.

The British equivalent would be taking a train from London to Glasgow. But you’d need to add a zero to the price at peak times.

Gdansk wears its history lightly but respectfully.

This is where World War Two started, when the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein bombed the port of what was then called Danzig.

There’s a huge museum in a slanting building dedicated to the conflict (muzeum1939.pl/en), which takes pains to concentrate on witness testimonies from ordinary Polish citizens who lived through the war.

The sheer size of the tank that sits on a recreated city street puts paid to any Hollywood notions of war being anything other than an ­exercise in terror.

Gdansk’s nightlife is every bit as lively as you would expect from a port city, but the cliché of rough ­sailors’ pubs has long gone. The Mercure Hotel offers knockout cocktails in its chic bar, while I also sampled sublime local vodkas to a DJ soundtrack amid the battered Chesterfield sofas inside Bar Lamus.

The train south to Krakow takes just over five hours and runs right through the centre of the country.

Leaving the Baltic coast, we passed vast fields of racing green, clusters of birch trees, red painted barns and deserted rural stations with flowerbeds outside.

Arrows of sunlight pierced tapering lanes and turned the glossy, ­depthless rivers and streams the colour of pewter.

For a country that has seen so much bloodshed, from a high-speed train, the nation looks ordered, calm and reassuringly familiar — like the landscapes of Lincolnshire or Kent from half a century ago.

As I order a glass of white wine, we run through the teeming cluster of Warsaw, with its mowed parks and jumble of new skyscrapers in the background.

An afternoon nap was inviting, but I was once again transfixed by the landscapes as we rolled further south. Ice-cream-scoop clouds hung above stout houses with roofs the colour of strong tea.

I felt I could sit on this train for ever. But Krakow is the end of the high-speed line, and so I made my way on foot into the Old Town — a pleasing maze of arcades and ­courtyards that meanders past the majestic royal castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill and down to the ­Vistula River.

Dinner came courtesy of Pod Baranem (podbaranem.com), which looks like a Polish granny’s living room but serves delicious plates of local classics such as dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese and roast veal with mushrooms.

Back at the funky, loft-style Mercure Fabryczna hotel, I fell into bed feeling I needed to rethink my definitions of luxury travel.

You don’t need five-star cruise liners or infinite air miles to travel in style.

A Polish train can make you feel pampered in a way that’s unlikely to ever occur on National Rail.

LOVE ISLAND’S latest bombshell Blu Chegini says he’s open to anything under the sheets – and reckons the steamy Hideaway might not even compare to his mum’s sex shop.

The cheeky singleton, whose mum runs a well-known adult store in Spain, reckons his upbringing makes him more than ready for what the villa throws at him.

Blu says ‘the fact I speak fluent Spanish comes in handy when it comes to flirting’[/caption]

Asked what his parents thought about him potentially having sex on national TV, Blu shrugged it off, saying: “I haven’t really spoken to them about it…

“It’s not something I probably would have gone and said, like, ‘look, listen, what’s going to happen?’

“Yes, it’s something that we’ve been open with our whole lives, it doesn’t mean I’m going in there like, ‘I’m going to do that’ whatever happens, happens.

“They’re going to be supportive no matter what.”

Blu, who’s already turning heads with his good looks and smooth charm, also hinted he’s got high hopes for the villa’s most infamous room.

“I’m keen to see what the Hideaway’s got in store. See how it compares, mum’s shop and the Hideaway.”

So, which will come out on top?

“Probably my mum’s shop, to be honest,” Blu told The Sun.

“They bring in some, like, I don’t know… not the trashy stuff.”

Blu’s saucy background is already his claim to fame.

Speaking to ITV, he revealed: “My mum owns a sex shop in Spain, which everyone knows and is quite popular.

“Growing up as a kid I was laughed at for it, but little did people know that all their parents were buying stuff from there.”

But despite his racy roots, Blu insists he’s a softie at heart and is looking for something real: “Someone who’s family orientated, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive – personality goes a long way.”

And when quizzed on whether Maya Jama would hire or fire him based on his flirting alone, Blu joked: “She’d fire me – but I’ve got the charm to smooth things over with a girl.

“The fact I speak fluent Spanish comes in handy when it comes to flirting!”

Businessman Blu will be swapping his wardrobe of smart suits for swimming trucks when he walks into the villa.

Blu is based in London and currently works as a construction project manager.

He graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2023 with a Bsc Hons in Construction Project Management and works for a firm in the captial’s swanky Fitzrovia.

MILLIONS of people living in leasehold properties are being hit with spiralling service charge fees – but there is a way to fight back.

Almost five million homeowners pay service fees, which have risen 11% in the last year to an average of £2,300 per month, according to Hamptons. 

Getty

Some leaseholders have seen charges sky rocket, making it unaffordable and tricky to sell their home. 

While others have been hit by unfair charges.

The government has planned to reform the system – but there are delays. 

This week JAMES FLANDERS explains how to challenge unfair charges. 

SOARING FEES

Service charges are a fee paid by a leaseholder or resident set by a landlord.

The amount varies each year depending on costs to the landlord.

They can include charges for maintenance, repairs and insurance.

The details are usually set out in your lease.

The fee is usually set on what the landlord thinks they will spend.

At the end of year the landlord should provide a statement.

Some leases allow landlords to ask for contributions towards a “sinking fund” to build up reserves for future larger scale works.

David Fell, lead analyst at Hamptons, said: “Both buyers and mortgage lenders have become increasingly cautious about committing to high service charge costs, particularly where they perceive charges to be disproportionate to the amenities they get in return.

“As a result, would-be sellers paying high charges have often seen the value of their homes rise more slowly or even fall.

“In some cases, sellers are offering potential buyers a cash contribution towards future service charge payments.”

UNFAIR CHARGES

Some leaseholders have found that they are being charged unfair fees.

Tribunal judges have made some landlords pay back up to £100,000.

In one example, they ruled that a £135 fee to change two light bulbs was excessive.

In February 2023, it was revealed that landlords and insurance brokers were secretly taking up to 60% of the £1.6billion leaseholders paid for building insurance as hidden commissions.

New rules now stop insurance companies from choosing policies just to earn the highest commission, helping leaseholders get better value.

But brokers and managing agents are still allowed to take commissions.

The government has promised to ban excessive building insurance commissions through the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.

Instead, landlords will only be able to charge a straightforward and fair “permitted insurance fee” for the work they actually do, making costs clearer and protecting leaseholders from hidden charges.

However, these proposed laws still need further legislation to come into effect, and the government hasn’t yet provided a timetable for this.

New rules planned by the government also plan to introduce commonhold agreements to replace leasehold ones.

Commonhold allows flat owners to jointly own and manage their buildings, cutting out landlords and property management companies.

But the proposed rules only apply to new homes.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing said they know “far too many leaseholders” are being hit with “unreasonable and extortionate charges”.

A draft of the bill is expected later this year but leaseholders may have to wait months before it becomes law.

HOW TO CHALLENGE FEES 

Leaseholders have a legal right within six months of receiving a summary of costs to request extra information from their landlord. 

You can challenge a cost if you think it’s unreasonable, the standard of work is poor or you don’t think you should be paying it. 

For example, you might question a fee for lift maintenance if you live in a ground-floor flat and it’s not included in your lease.

Or you could challenge charges for communal services, like a gym that’s always closed or a concierge service that doesn’t have staff.

You will need to apply to a tribunal which has the power to rule on whether the service charge is reasonable or payable.

In England this is the first-tier tribunal (property chamber).

In Wales it’s the leasehold valuation tribunal. 

Applying to the tribunal usually costs a fixed fee of £110, though this may be waived if you’re on certain benefits.

If your case is transferred from court to the tribunal, you’ll only pay the difference between the court fees and the tribunal fee – or nothing if you’ve already paid more than £110 in court fees.

If a hearing is scheduled, you’ll need to pay an additional £220 hearing fee.

Speak to the Leasehold Advisory Service online at lease-advice.org or call them on 020 7832 2500 to find out more and get free advice on service charge issues.

You could also apply to the Housing Ombudsman if you have a complaint about how your service charge fees have been managed.

It says cases have jumped by 25 per cent in the last four years. 

If you’re finding it hard to pay your service charges, there’s support available.

If you’re on Universal Credit and have been receiving it for at least nine months, you could get help with your service charges if you own a leasehold property.

People over the state pension age can also get support through pension credit.

RIGHT TO MANAGE

If you don’t get anywhere by approaching your management company, you could take over managing the charges yourself via Right to Manage.

It is a legal process where leasehold residents in flats can take over managing the maintenance and services.

To do this, enough long-leaseholders (those with leases originally over 21 years) need to get together and form an RTM company.

It costs £50 to set up a company and takes 24 hours to register.

You then need to serve notice to the freeholder of the development – the person who owns the land – letting them know you are taking over the right to manage.

They then have one month to dispute this.

The government is also planning to remove the requirement for leaseholders to cover the landlords expenses during the process, which will save homeowners around £3,000. 

It’s also not allowed if there are four or fewer flats and a landlord lives in the building.

It could help you cut out management fee costs and charges for unnecessary work – but you will be responsible for the company and annual reporting.

Unless one of you is trained in these areas you may need to take on an accountant or managing agent. 

Applications to set up RTM companies rose by 20% last year, according to Direct Line.

A YOUNG mother has proudly shown off her post-baby body, but has been met with horrendous comments from mean trolls.

Chloe, a 22-year-old stay-at-home mother who has two children, gave her followers a close-up look at the loose skin on her belly, just 26 weeks after giving birth to her youngest daughter.

The mum-of-two clapped back to the haters and urged people to “be mindful”[/caption]

But the content creator, who has amassed an impressive 316,900 followers and 36.3million likes online, was left with nasty messages from keyboard warriors, one of which said she is the reason they would “never have kids”.

Eager to clap back to the jaw-dropping remark and set the record straight, Chloe, who is mother to three-year-old Aura and seven-month-old Elladee, and had her two kids in the space of just two and a half years, wrote back to the brutal message. 

Posting on social media, the influencer wore a crop top and leggings and showed off the stretch marks on her tummy in response to a rude comment that read “ok now this is another reason why I’m never having kids”.

In response to the troll, Chloe confirmed: “My body should never put you off having kids – this is natural, this is absolutely normal.”

Chloe then expressed: “Every woman’s body is different after pregnancy, throughout pregnancy, and before pregnancy, so you saying this is the reason you don’t want kids because of the look of my body is absolutely wild to me. 

“Everyone is allowed their opinion, I’m not saying that, you’re allowed to say whatever you want, you’re allowed to be scared of pregnancy, you’re allowed to be scared of what your body might look like after pregnancy.”

The mother admitted that she was initially “scared” of the “changes” to her body after having a baby and “never” thought her figure would look how it does currently after her second baby.

She claimed that while she “bounced back so fast” after giving birth to her first child, she was “a lot larger” with her second.

Chloe then added: “If you bounce back very quickly after all your kids, you are very lucky.”

Now, Chloe is on a mission to encourage kindness online and “normalise normal bodies”.

As a result, the blonde asked: “Can we stop commenting hateful things on my postpartum body? As I will see them and words do hurt, so please be mindful and kind.” 

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ourfamilydiariess, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 72,500 views in just 24 hours.

Social media users were eager to support Chloe and numerous women rushed to the comments to praise her “beautiful” figure after having two children. 

One person said: “God forbid a woman who’s had children looks like they’ve had children. I think you’re gorgeous.”

My body should never put you off having kids – this is natural, this is absolutely normal

Chloe

Another added: “You look amazing! Your body grew your babies! It did everything it was supposed to do.” 

A third commented: “You look fantastic.”

Meanwhile, someone else shared: “You’re absolutely beautiful.” 

Not only this, but another mother chimed in: “My stomach is the same after my daughter, this is lovely to see. Women’s bodies are amazing.”

LOVE Island’s Ronnie Vint is already growing close to a glamorous influencer just days after his split from Harriett Blackmore.

The Sun can exclusively reveal Ronnie spent a night in Ibiza chatting up stunning Lauren Watson, who has 153,000 followers on Instagram.

Ronnie recently split from girlfriend Harriett Blackmore[/caption]

He was at the launch of the Unexpected Hotel in Ibiza on Tuesday and spent most of it flirting with Lauren. 

An onlooker said: “Ronnie looked really into Lauren, and certainly wasn’t spending his time pining over Harriett.

“He’s always had an eye for the ladies, so it was no surprise that Lauren caught his attention.

“They spent most of the night chatting and looked very cosy. They’re also following each other on social media already.”

A rep for Ronnie declined to comment.

Prior to the Ibiza getaway, Ronnie and Harriett unfollowed each other on social media and deleted pictures. Yesterday we confirmed they had split up.

Fans had spotted that footballer Ronnie, 28, had removed photos of Harriett, 25, from Instagram – sparking fears they had separated.

But Ronnie took to his Instagram story to deny that they were on the rocks at the time, and said posts about the break-up were fake.

The Love Island star shared a screengrab from an Instagram page that claimed he and Harriett had split.

The post appeared to show Ronnie commenting: “Yeah it’s true. Will explain my side of things later,” along with the caption: “Ronnie Vint is sharing his side of that story with what happened with Harriett.”

He insisted that was simply a cruel hoax by a social media user, writing: “This is clearly a set up. Edited because we are sweet and I haven’t commented a thing. Thank you.”

The pair had planned to move in together this month before thing took a sour turn.

Harriett told The Mirror: “In June. Everything’s happening at once.

“We’re moving up towards London, which is exciting.

“It’s really close to Matilda (Draper), so we’ll be spending a lot of time with her and going back and forth.”

Last summer, the pair originally split just weeks after leaving the villa.

However, viewers watched as Harriet and Ronnie rekindled their connection on Love Island: All Stars.

Ronnie was an original All Stars islander and Harriett entered as a bombshell on Day 11.

The pair fell short of winning after being “dumped” on Day 34 of 36.

TOTTENHAM FANS have slammed the club as a “disgrace” for sacking manager Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian manager was axed by Spurs today despite leading the club to their first trophy in over 17 years with Europa League success this season.

A club statement claimed that the unanimous decision to sack the 59-year-old was one the “toughest” the board has had to make.

Adding: “Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the club’s greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.”

But fans have been left less convinced that moving Postecoglou on was the right decision, with the announcement sparking fury on social media.

One fan wrote: “Absolute disgrace!!”

While another added: “What an absolute joke of a football club”.

A third simply fumed: “DISGRACE.”

A fourth posted: “This club is addicted to self-sabotage. Embarrassing. Thanks Ange, for reminding us what it’s like to actually win something.”

And a fifth wrote: “Stunned, and incredibly disappointed.”

Postecoglou, who had recently teased a third season in charge, released a statement to the fans after his dismissal.

The farewell message read: “When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride.

“The opportunity to lead one of England‘s historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime.”

Later adding: “There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible.

“We have also laid the foundations that means this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success.”

Tottenham told fans in a statement that “news on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course”.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank is currently thought to be the front-runner to take over from Postecoglou.

Frank has become one of the Premier League’s most highly rated managers thanks to his work with the Bees.

However, Fulham boss Marco Silva is also thought to be in the frame for the North London club.

Hiring Frank could prove costly business, with the Dane’s release clause believed to be around £10million.

Reports had already claimed Spurs will have to fork out £4million in compensation to dismiss Postecoglou, with that figure coming on top of the £2million bonus he earned for winning the Europa League.

THERE’S a way that consumers can get several items for free at a popular grocery chain this month.

The retailer is known for its money-saving offerings, and a unique feature could mean even more benefits.

Coupons this month for items at the chain like Palmolive Dish Soap are gaining popularity[/caption]

H-E-B was founded in 1905 (stock image)[/caption]

H-E-B, which has over 400 stores in Texas and Mexico, was dubbed “cheaper than Dollar Tree” by longtime customer and deals influencer Txfrugalfinds (@txfrugalfinds) in a recent Facebook reel.

According to her, the digital coupons available to H-E-B customers who have the store’s mobile application helped it earn the position ahead of other discount stores.

“When you use digital coupons at H-E-B, you can save way more money on your food, personal care, and household items than that of Dollar Tree,” Txfrugalfinds explained.

At least five specific purchases in June through the coupons would require no more than $4 out of pocket for customers, leaving them paying almost “absolutely nothing.”

FREEBIE FUN

That first includes the “monthly freebie,” which should be available to all H-E-B shoppers with the mobile application.

“You’ll find the offer in the ‘savings for you’ section of the coupon tab,” the influencer noted.

The exclusive deal will be for either free 12-ounce pack of H-E-B Higher Harvest brand bacon or four-count box of H-E-B Italian Sorbetto frozen fruit bars.

Since the coupon applies to any version of the bacon or fruit bars that are H-E-B brand, Txfrugalfinds recommended the options that would typically be more expensive to get the most out of the promotion.

For bacon, that would be the H-E-B Dry Cured Center Cut Bacon at $6.99 per pack.

The fruit bars that qualify for free typically sell for around $3.48.

So long as H-E-B customers hang onto the digital coupon, it can be scanned at checkout and it will apply, removing the cost of both the bacon and the fruit bars.

With the total shopping cart still at $0, the other item H-E-B shoppers should reach for is Palmolive Dish Soap.

They’re $2.38 per bottle, but a 75-cent-off coupon is available in the retailer’s mobile app that brings the price down on one of the bottles.

Then, because it’s over $4-worth of Palmolive Dish Soap, it also qualifies for another coupon that takes $2 off.

That way, the entire total for both bottles is $2.01.

MORE, PLEASE

Additionally, the Summer’s Eve Feminine Wipes, which are typically priced at $1.96, have a $1 off unlimited coupon in the H-E-B mobile application for June.

That makes each box only 96 cents for however many shoppers would want to pick up.

Lastly, the Four Sixes Chili Mix, also $1.96 each, have the same $1 off unlimited coupon.

Each would be 96 cents.

That means, depending on how many of all the items customers buy, the grocery trip could potentially be under $4.

Other discount retailers like Aldi are also offering summer savings.

A four-piece grill set at the retailer is only $9.99 this month, and it comes with a hanging feature for “easy storage.”

Aldi has also slashed prices by 33% for the season, with over 400 items starting at $1.49.

THOUSANDS of users in the US and the UK have reported experiencing issues with accessing the YouTube app and website.
