Not sure if this is the best place to ask but here goes.
I have cut down a conifer tree. Dug up as much of the stump as I could. Then attempted to pull it out with the Disco. Unfortunately a large part of the root had worked it's way underneath the pavement. As I pulled it lifted up the kerbstone and broke some of the to tarmac.
I have called the council hiways dept as it is a trip hazard as it is.
Question is are they likely to bill me.

I have another 130ft of these trees along the pavement that I intend to remove but I guess I will be leaving the stumps in the ground.

Yep I'll check out the insurance if I get a big bill. I'm not trying to dodge my responsibilities. Just curious at what to expect.
