Could it have been they went to the wrong address and did the work?

Why would Southwark Council get rid of a tree stump in Biggin Hill? The only options as far as I can see is that either it was the owner of the garages who believe the tree was their responsibility or the original contractors felt they ha not finished the job so came back.

This sounds most plausible.

I'd take the chippings to the tip and be glad to be honest. smile

Couldn't you bag up the chippings and use them as a mulch at your other rentals? I know I would as it would cut down on the amount of work for my gardener.

Yes, well do something with them, but I'd stop the witch hunt and feel like I'd been done a favour tbh!

Why is it a problem?

Don't understand what you mean by shredded...

A grand to move that..? Strewth.
I know. Captive audience. Xmas eve, further high winds due a couple of days after and 3 neighbours wondering if I'm going to add to their xmas trees by several feet via their bedrooms left me in an awkward position in my negotiations.

The tree was rickety due to crap being dumped behind it, now its gone and been replaced by a not unattractive stump, someone has mulched it and its now being seen to be a dumping ground as it resembles a 4ft square compost heap. Round and round.

I'm more curious why someone would weigh out several hundred quid to mulch a tree stump that isn't theirs that affects zero people.

On one hand I'm grateful, but I cant be bothered spending more time clearing up someone elses mess.

Believe me, the witchhunt is purely to see if I could offset some of the cost of felling the fking thing in the first place.

It is a bit strange, can't see why anyone would choose to do that without being asked.

Are you sure it's not just the original crew that finished it off but didn't clear the leftovers?

Also, did your tenants not hear anything. I can't imagine it was quiet.
No, not the original tree surgeons, my neighbours did hear things, have a quick scan over the original post, it appears to be Southwark Council. Probably a mate for a few beer tokens - I know, I just cant understand why.

I have got a couple of woodpeckers in my garden, maybe I'll ask them for their movements over the last fortnight, although its a big stump, maybe they carried it between them....................

Smooth, a grand designs rockery, with added rusty bbq and old broken ironing board.

I think I might see if I can borrow a donkey from the paddock and make him hold some kind of water feature.

Now you're just showing off, saying you've got a paddock as well as a rental property. Toyotapilot will be on your case soon! hehe
