I'm beginning to think PH needs an entrance examination. Nothing too complex, just enough to prove the existence of a single brain cell.
If that criteria were applied you would have never been allowed in chum

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! 
Alas no, I back onto a riding school which also houses several donkeys.I'd be happy to piss him off further by saying so though, I could provide him with all the manure he requires for further postings.
In my part of the world it's referred to as "Stump Grinding" and the machine used is pretty brutal, very noisy and creates a right old mess. I had a large oak removed from my property and grinding the stump out cost the equivalent of 300 quid.
Ordinarily the stump isn't ground immediately after felling due to the enormous water content - the muppets that did mine came back about 2 months later to remove the stump, so I'm with others who've suggested it might be the original arborists who just came back to finish the job - though they should have taken the grindings away with them.

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 may be stupid but why on earth would Sothwark Council get rid of a tree stump which is not in their area? Not sure what area it is but is certainly not Southwark I'd guess Bromley or Croydon. Maybe you should ask Southwark Council what they were up to and why they left the chippings behind?They may find their employees aren't doing the work they thought they were!

Does the Council own the freehold of the land, with the OP just being a leaseholder?They may find their employees aren't doing the work they thought they were!

Either way I'd agree that the OP should call Southwark Council and/or the "normal" one to see if they know anything about it.

I still don't see what the problem is. OP paid to have a tree cut down and had the stump removed for free.
I'd be happy and STFU.
Stump turned into huge pile of mulch that people have now dumped more compost on, now my responsibilty to remove. I still don't see what the problem is. OP paid to have a tree cut down and had the stump removed for free.

Neighbours complain of tree and debris behind. Tree nearly goes for a burton, tree removed. Neighbours happy, tree unexpectedly turned into mulch, neighbours complain of mulch and debris.
If they'd taken it with them, I'd be chuffed, as it is, its like having a free Domino's delivered, only to find that its already been digested.
Spoke to arborists/surgeons, nowt to do with them so someone has actually paid to do it. Southwark have no record so far of anything anywhere near my postcode. Local council now looking into it but they did f
k all when it was about to drop on 3 houses as its private land (Freehold) so I very much doubt they'd have done it.Its really not that big a deal, its just a pain the arse, and very odd.

For Landlords your post has raised an important issue, the same being that landlords should not only carry out regular inspection of their rental properties, but also register with HM Land Registry for Fraud Alerts and to their Local Council Planning Authority for Planning Application Alerts.Neighbours complain of tree and debris behind.

From being a Landlord for over 18 years, I have found that disrespect for a rental property does not stop with a tenant/s, but also from neighbours in either moving boundary fences, or chucking garden and general waste into the grounds of the rental property.
