    Julia Simmons, who owns and runs Katmandu in Boston's West Street, has been fined £300 for illegally installing the PVC windows.

    She was also ordered to pay £1,119.07 costs for "failing to comply with a legal notice" which told her to remove the windows.

    Ms Simmons says she installed the first of two windows 16 years ago and the second just over five years ago, but has only just been fined .

    Boston Borough Council says the windows "harmed the character of the building".

    The council said it "had tried all avenues to resolve the matter without the need to take legal proceedings, but Ms Simmons' failure to properly engage with the council left them with no other option".

    Quote Message

    I've never broken the law in my life. It's the first prosecution I've had and I'm mortified...I think they've got a duty of care to explain these things to lay-persons like myself, which they did not do."
