George Harrison`s widow in razor fence row

London: Late Beatle George Harrison``s widow Olivia has been caught up in a planning row after a former television sitcom star alleged that a razor wire fence around her house almost killed his cat. Rodney Bewes, who starred as Bob Ferris in Seventies television show ‘The Likely Lads’, said the fence posed pets with a dangerous threat and even made the neighbourhood looking like a "war zone".

Olivia filed a planning application with South Oxfordshire District Council to replace the fence with an identical version, a move opposed by Bewes. "My cat, Maurice, has been injured on that fence several times, once severing an artery that nearly killed him. It has cost me thousands in vets` bills,” a news daily quoted Bewes as saying. “There are several other cats - people`s pets - that have been practically gored on that fence, it`s that dangerous. "It makes me sad when I come home to such a beautiful place and see this thing that makes it look like a war zone. If everybody had razor wire around their gardens can you imagine what it would look like? "It doesn`t make it any more secure. The bottom half is wood and with a good crowbar you could get through it no problem," Bewes added. The Harrisons came up with the boundary in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, after a crazed intruder broke in and stabbed the late guitarist in 1999. ANI
