I have a silly ongoing ambition to put 5 clocks on the wall here in the office, all reading the same time, marked with the names of 5 random no-mark places within 5 miles of here.
Like the 'Taft' hotel in the film 'Best in Show', The clocks on reception are all Eastern Standard Time for the cities of Boston, New York, Baltimore, Miami, and Philadelphia.

I'd go for Nempnett Thrubwell

This is it,
It was a straggly tiny thing when we moved in, now a bit fuller than that photo with some selective pruning, becomes our outside tree each year, neighbour always says how much she loves it so its got earlier.
Though, part of me wishes I had pulled it out twenty years ago as it has cost me a car parking space
Not ponticum so the council aspect is limited to Christmas lights being up in November!

Council areas always have bin issues
You can be driving through a decentish new build estate then all of a sudden there are hundreds of bins in various state, painted on, overflowing etc
My favourite one is the overflowing bing where the grass has grown up around it. I guess they out the wrong stuff in it, the council won’t take it so it just stays forever
We have some social housing near us that are 2 or 3 bed, they all seem to have a fleet of bins that biffa could only dream of

Recently returned to a previous residence in Reading. A small, pleasant cul-de-sac that has been ruined by each house having three bins and two plastic boxes. Due to the configuration of the estate the only place to keep the bins is at the front of the building.You can be driving through a decentish new build estate then all of a sudden there are hundreds of bins in various state, painted on, overflowing etc

YupBut in this instance the other 95 identical houses on the estate manage it, just the 5 social ones that have 3 times more bins than everyone else
