Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E 40 whatianga te teitei o te rākau o tōna hoa tata, ā, e ai ki a Audrey Alexander, kua waiho ētahi wāhanga o tōna kari ki te atarangi hohonu. I tua atu, i tēnei wā ka pēnei tonu. Ahakoa te whawhai 35 tau ki te tapahi i ngā rākau kia rite ki te rahi, kua whakatau te kaunihera ka noho tonu rātau. Ko te hinga whakamutunga tēnei i roto i tētahi pakanga e rua ngā whakatupuranga o te whānau o Mrs Alexander. I tīmata i te 35 tau ki muri i te kitenga o te kuia o Mrs Alexander i tana wāhi huawhenua i te pāmu e kore e tipu i tētahi mea e tika ana hei kai nā te leylandii. Kua mutu te riri i waenga i ngā hoa noho tata mō tētahi taiepa rākau 40 mita te teitei (i te pikitia) i muri i ngā tau e 35. I tīmata te pakanga i waenganui i ngā pāmu tata i te tau 1980 i te wā i whakatokia ai e te rangatira he wāhi huawhenua i maroke, i mate i te atarangi o te rākau nui o tōna hoa tata. Katahi, e 23 tau ki muri, ka hokona e te whaea kotahi a Mrs Alexander te whare, ka tono ki tana hoa noho a Jeanette Robinson ki te tapahi i te taiepa. E kī ana a Mrs Robinson i whakakahore, ka kī: "E pai ana ahau ki te neke atu i te pa ki ēnei rākau".<unk> I haere tonu te tautohetohe, me Mrs Alexander, 54, e kii ana ko nga rakau i patu i te £20,000 o te uara o tana rawa. Heoi anō, i kite ia i tētahi whai wāhitanga, i te whakaaetanga o te High Hedge Act i Scotland i te tau 2013 e āhei ana i ngā mana ā-rohe ki te mahi i roto i ngā take pēnei. Kua whakatauhia e te Kaunihera o Stirling ka taea te noho o te taiepa, ahakoa nga whakapae kua paahitia e ia te £ 20,000 mai i te uara o te whare o te hoa noho a Audrey Alexander (whakaahua) I tae mai te ahua ki te upoko i te 2008, i te wa i tukuna ai he waahanga 65ft o te taiepa kua hinga, kua wahia te whare kari o te hoa noho. E kī ana a Audrey Alexander (i te pikitia) kua nekehia atu e ētahi atu hoa noho ō rātou tamariki i ō rātau rūma moe i te pō i te wehi i ngā peka e hinga ana. Engari kua whakatauhia e tana kaunihera ka taea e Mrs Robinson te pupuri i te rākau, ahakoa me tapahi ki te 6 mita. I kii a Mrs Alexander kaore he rereketanga o te whakatau. Ka whakaaetia e te High Hedge Act 2013 kia amuamu nga hoa noho ki te kaunihera ina aukati ana te arai i te ra ki te tae atu ki to ratau kari. Ko ngā amuamu...
I hiahia a Audrey Alexander kia tapahia e ona hoa noho te taiepa nui. E kī ana ia ko te 40ft leylandii i aukati i te rā kia tae atu ki tōna kāinga. I tīmata te riri i te tau 1980 i te wā i aukati i te mārama ki te tae atu ki tētahi wāhi huawhenua. Ka whakatauhia e te Kaunihera ka noho tonu te taiepa - engari me tapahi ki te 20 waewae.
