Given that this is Daily Mail story I wouldn't believe a word of it, they seem to have it in for local councils for some reason. I guarantee that there is going to be more to the story than meets the eye.

Given that fact that this is just a member of the public as opposed to a professional builder/landscaper/gardener then the council have no idea how safe the work she has done is or if its been done to any kind of decent standard. If a kid trips over her possibly shoddy workmanship and breaks their leg will she be happy take the blame? I bet she won't!

It's nothing to do with 'paper pushing jobworths' and everything to do with the council being able to guarantee a basic standard of work on areas that they are ultimately responsible for.

This is exactly what stokes the fires of my rage. Someone should be on the BBQ and eaten for this.

I agree, I think crap reactionary journalism should be punishable by death as well.

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

Buzzard's Knob

I was told by the city that I had to tear down my admittedly dilapidated garage. I did comply, and set any wood that was still usable out on the curb. Six of my neighbors took it and used it to build equally ramshackle additions to their front porches. It was hilarious to all.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
