It allowed hoses on
vegetable plots, but not on flower beds.



A few carrots / lettuces etc. amongst the bedding plants maybe ;-)

It'll be interesting to see if this ban extends to include irrigation
systems that householders are increasingly installing to do the watering
for them.




From UU webpage:

Please note: blue badge holders and customers who are registered
disabled are exempt from the ban.

That's pretty ****-poor; they provide an alleged 'list of examples' but nowhere
could I find a link to actual the text of the ban itself, so I could check the
small print. If they don't even put it somewhere obvious on their website they
can hardly expect to be able to enforce it!

If you live on the division of the red and green line can you stand in
the green bit and hose the red bit
