    Now this is why I put it on arbtalk there's always some great advice 👍👍 glad you all have the same thoughts as me I lost a job I put the tpo application in for because it was that much cheaper for the council to do the job the home owner just paid me for the application a 3 day job the council priced it for 1 day but it took them 4 days to get it done we all miss price jobs from time to time but the council will never learn because they have nothing to lose

    The councils are all corrupt if work was contracted out that £400k a year would be less than halved

    So surely are council tax should go down if there making money but yet that won't happen I'd rather them sit round drinking tea than lowering all our prices

    My mate in the council said all in there 3 man team costs £400k to run a year

    It's the tree officer that's pushing it every tpo job that he approves gets a quote sent with the confirmation

    They can lose on every job but through the council books it's 100% profit as the teams,gear,trucks,Chipper's and stump grinder is already paid for by the tax payer if a 1 day job takes a week it doesn't matter

    It's 100% true they run one team now doing council work and private work now there putting a second team on the road to do private/contracting work could this be stopped they put a price in for every tpo job and obviously it doesn't matter if they make a profit off the job because the council tax pays for the teams to run so if they quote cheap it doesn't matter

    Hi As the title says my local council is doing paid works so every tpo application that goes in to the council they send a quote to do the work and will there be a bit of well if you give us the work we will grant permission going on? is this a common thing and is it a good use of tax payers money I'm just looking for a few opinions on the situation Thanks 👍

    That's what I think they are worth. it is the same round here firms sending climber and a groundie out with van and chipper for £300 -£400 a day and it's not enuf the groundie will be on £50 and climber £80 a proper tree surgery team should be £500 minimum there's to meny willing to under cut!afew of my mates are plumbers sparckeys and teacher and wouldn't even think about setting off for less that £150 a day tree work deserves To be the same level
  15. walkerboys
    Surely in this day and age a good groundie would be worth £100 a day fully ticketed up with b+e and a good climber £120 just my opinion and also you just have the £50 a day brash draggers don't confuse them with a good groundie
  16. walkerboys
    I like that the conveyors save a lot of horse power compared to blowing chip
  17. walkerboys
    Bandit all the way but are heavy well built chippers backing it up mite give the clutch on your van some pain
