Has anyone ever succeeded in getting a reduction in council tax over such matters?
If I ever get a digital camera I will have to show you my council's latest joke... a huge wheelie bin for garden waste, that I came home to find on my garden that is approximately 4 times the area of the bin.
If I was so inclined, I could easily climb inside the bin and close the lid after myself. Honestly, it's 5-feet tall. Hardly wheelchair-friendly, is it? Yet lightswitches have to be no more than 1.2m from the floor.
I have no idea which bright spark thought it up: the average garden round here is about the size of a postage stamp, and is generally a paved postage stamp.
Yet they don't recycle cardboard and plastic in the bin pick-ups...
