This council is renowned for not admitting to anything they do
wrong.

I don't know about the chance of success in the small claims
court, but
clearly atm they are hoping that you will just give up.

Pity it's not just before local elections. Well motivated
councillors
can sometimes achieve miracles.


Local newspapers can do a great deal to focus the attention of said
councillors, and are usually desperate for stories. Give them a
ring and
see if they will print a photo of you standing in front of the
damage.

The procedure is:

1. Ring press, tell them you have story and councillor (1) will be
available for photo

2. Ring councillor and tell them press will be on hand for photo ;-)


(1) And if you're lucky enough to have a split ward, ring both (or
all
3) councillors in turn and tell them that their opponent will be
there
:-)

Marie,
Please, please don't contemplate legal action. You will be the loser.
Please follow Kay's suggestion and keep us posted.
