Therein lies the problem, the Council can only reclaim its costs after completion the remedial work, not before. Back in my day I had a budget of afew thousand pounds at most to undertake remedial work, and I suspect any such budget has been considerably reduced since then. Did result in afew 'amusing' outcomes though, once when a contractor appointed to do the remedial works invoiced the Council I did abit of detective work and found out that the invoice was completely fabricated, so I refused to pay, and on another occasion some guy tried to claim the scrap metal the contractors cleared from his land included some model worth £50k and hence he was going to sue etc., unsurprisingly enough he never did !. |
