Disgruntled - how much is it worth?

How much crop money does soil raise per square metre? Somewhere between £3.50 and £5,500 for that piece?

This is the thing I’d say. Both figures are way off but if we’re honest, he’s had a good deal for a few years. Set a side is running at what, £100 an acre nowadays? Obviously he’s got the blight of it on his land, land he now can’t do anything with, and he’s got to give access to engineers to service the thing. I’m sure both parties to reach a better figure that what they’ve currently come to.

If that £5,500 is the only income these days for the farm cutting it to £3.50 sounds stingey.

If that piece of ground was raisng nothing for the farm in past years maybe £3.50 is too much

This has got me thinking...I have a street light in my front garden maybe I should be claiming rent from the lazy bd council...or better still waiving the council tax, that sounds good to me.

How did that occur ?
I'm guessing old property ?

Same for where you have a streetlight screwed to the front of your house? Should you receive a rent?

Or a street sign name plate
