A HOARDER who keeps rusting scrap in his back garden has been ordered to clear the mess by a judge.

Murray King was ordered last December to clear the gardens of his houses at 9 and 10 Fielding Terrace, Uxbridge Road, by magistrates in Acton, but appealed the decision which gave him a reprieve.

He then refused to take part in the first hearing because he said the judge from Isleworth Crown Court was biased against him, but was on Monday given three months to clear the junk from his property.

Debris in his garden includes an earth mover which has been there since the 70s, cars, rotting doors and building material, although he will be allowed to keep a boat which is stored there.

At court yesterday he was given three months to comply with a clean-up notice, and ordered to pay costs of £585 to Ealing Council.
