Neighbours transform 94-year-old's 'jungle' garden

Neighbours of a 94-year-old woman from Easterside rallied to help her transform her overgrown and unsafe garden.

Dorothy, known as Dot, had struggled to maintain the area following a stroke and the death of her husband.

Neighbour Carlie Fletcher, who described Dot as being like "a blood relative", said she was happy to help her friend.

Dot said she was "thankful" for the help.
