I think that's a result of environmental pressure from ornithologists regarding the bird population and the nesting/feeding necessities. Not to mention the getting together bit undercover.

Unfortunately many councils take that to mean July/August 2050!

Should I expect a council tax rebate for services NOT rendered?

Is this the situation in other parts of the country where you are?

Anyone can report local issues like potholes or overgrown verges, etc on https://www.fixmystreet.com.

The local councils responsible will receive the details and take whatever action is needed. Does work, have been using it for years.
