To get to my house from the neighbour means a walk of 6-800 metres they assumed ok to put ladder over wall ,there was a misunderstanding between departments as to who was contacting me, the attitude of the arborist just finished me off they intended to cut and leave the branches in my garden, the t/o got the short straw to apologise and collect rest of the tools
  11. Interesting, when I caught them in the garden the toys came out of the pram and it wasn’t pleasant I refused them permission to collect their ropes and the chainsaw went over the wall at speed the arb officer came around next day , I don’t know where he got it from but the conservation area he explained was a box inside the lines drawn, outside of the lines no conservation area
  12. A CA is a conservation area not a tpo area my local council placed my house at the boundary of a conservation area I’m inside, they then decided to prune my ash tree which overhangs the next door sheltered housing, not inside the conservation area, I brought up the fact they had not asked for permission to carry out the works, came home to find two men inside my garden with a ladder up the tree the tree officer said the conservation area finished at my boundary as no tpo therefore they could cut to the boundary
