The property in Hawthorn Close, Salisbury Picture: GOOGLE A NURSERY worker’s rental property was taken over by around 20 “hot bedding” shift workers, a court heard.

Prosecutor Andrew Kamosa, for Wiltshire Council, told Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Friday that up to 20 people had been living at the three-bedroom terraced house in Hawthorn Close, Salisbury.
By Journal Reporter A Salisbury gardener who sold puppies online has been fined. Animal Protection Services, which brought a private prosecution against Leonard Greenough, said the “designer” dogs the 38-year-old sold on website Pets for Homes would have been worth around £16,700. Prosecutor Jacob Lloyd told Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Friday May 15 that Greenough, of Whiteparish, placed nine advertisements on the classified ads website between June and November last year – despite not having a licence to sell pets. The advertisements were for the sale of cocker spaniel, lurcher, Patterdale cross and “Jackapoo” puppies. Mitigating, Liz Highams said her client – a self-employed gardener – had previously bred and sold puppies himself as a “hobbyist”, which he was entitled to do under the law.
