They, however, manage to get away with it as a rule because the council is wary of taking on large enterprises. <br /><br />So this is the usual council jobsworth targeting the small business/person because he or she can't afford to fight the decision. In other words, the council at its bullying best.<br /><br />If my memory serves me right, an example of the council turning a blind eye is the "folly" built by Lidl in the left corner of the entrance to its car park which was not in the plans together with the fact that one of the planning conditions was that Lidl should plant trees (or perhaps bushes) along its boundary with the pavement. Not only is the folly still there, but there is no sign of any greenery. <br /><br />One law for the powerful, another for the powerless. Lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
