Thanks
Duncan. Not a stupid question that some might think, but, did you send the Invoice to the Council for them to pay OR, have you made a claim against the council?

If 'no' to both these questions, how far back was it that you had an extension fitted 'to overcome the problem THEIR trees was producing'?

I have had quite a bit of success in winning battles with Local Councils which have ended with roads being 're-aligned' in two seperate case to get rid of surface water and in one case, planning permission NOT being granted on a piece of land the council wishes to sell for housing and has JUST been designated a Wildlife Area.

I am more than willing to advise. Just email me. The secret is "the wording in the letter" ;-))
