TaylorDTS is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Nottingham County Council.

How ridiculous is this....

My local council will only put dropkerbs in front of my driveway if i pay them £1500. At the minute i use the next door neighbours but regularly get complaints and with the pug being slightly lowered it's causing havoc with my paintwork!

I suppose when they come to check about my request for drop kerbs they'll see the car and tar me with the same brush as most young lads "Boy Racer".

Anyone else have trouble with there local councils???

You'll probably find that you can talk the road workers into doing a dropped kerb next time they resurface the road. Local councils can be a bit of a pain to deal with and they all complain about being strapped for cash!

i reckon the world would be a better place without councils, i mean - who needs the useless fatties anyway?

examples:
when our street flooded they turned up with sandbags, after water was in our house, and as a result of the flood 2 conifer trees fell down in next doors garden, onto our garden fence and 3 weeks later still nothing, they are so lazy. soon theyll realise that taking away 2 trees is cheaper than paying for our fence to be rebuilt........

muppets, and with dropped kerbs, we were asked to pay 500 nicker, 7 years ago. daylight robbery.
