When does collecting become hoarding?
A woman who turned herself in and a couple living a "lifestyle choice" are among five Marlborough properties checked for hoarding last year.
Environmental officers from the Marlborough District Council visited three properties with reported "unsanitary living conditions" from last July, and made developments in two old hoarding cases.
Council environmental health technician Georgia Murrin said hoarding often involved unsanitary living, which was defined as having no water, no toilet or shower access, or signs of mould, vermin, flies or fleas.
In your opinion, when does collecting become hoarding?
