UK fairies with gaudy doors face eviction as trustees for Wayford woods, near Crewkerne consider subjecting them to planning control.
When the first fairy door appeared in the woods a decade ago it was a classy affair with a working handle, hinges and little bed tucked behind it according The Guardian.
Now the fairies have just gone too far.
“The problem is there are just too many of them – and some are a little bit garish, they don’t fit in,” said Stuart Le Fevre, one of the trustees.
Some of the newer doors are made in garish colours, and even use tinsel.
Worse, with some of the doors being placed far off the walking paths, children are trampling the forest's bluebells to find them.
Fortunately some of the more garish doors have already begun to vanish.
“I think it’s the goblins,” he Le Fevre. “Our goblins have very good taste.”
Fortunately for the tasteless fairies of Wayford Woods, an Irish company has winged into the rescue according to Sourcewire.
The Irish Fairy Door Company has announced that it is expanding into England.
“Removing fairy doors from the woods needlessly casts fairies out of their homes, whilst also spoiling the magic and belief for those who visit them to leave gifts or letters.
"Everyone at Fairy HQ was hugely disappointed to hear of the potential evictions and we received an overwhelming number of messages from worried adults and children across the UK, expressing concern and offering human homes to the newly-homeless fairies,” director Niamh Sherwin Barry explained.
