Will I have to pay for damaging the pavement.
Discussion
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.

If you do get a big bill it might be worth seeing if your insurance will cover it.
I don't think it will, as the OP has caused the damage will carrying out repairs/modifications etc himself.The only reason I could think of that it wouldn't be covered is because the damage was caused by using a mechanically propelled vehicle.
I was installing a fence out the front on the boundary with the neighbour. digging a hole for a post and the spade went through the neighbours gas supply. My legal cover extra on the insurance paid for it as had been negligent and no excess!
So if you have legal cover you should be ok.
