Seriously
I sometimes wonder if Council Duty Officers are there just to test how serious you are about a topic you are calling them about - before dispensing the required advice.
Four phone calls and probably 2 hours of conversation before they pointed me in the direction of a very real potential and achievable exemption "out" from having to convert one of our tourist cottages to disability access.
(note: the cottages are 30 years old kit home weatherboard things, never designed to remotely allow massive turn circles in each room)
The another 3 phone calls and lotsa time before council admitted that they had no regulation on how many trees I cleared from my rural property, and that I had free rein on anything under 25 years old (the majority).
Seriously - I seriously reckon that they are there to - seriously test you on - how serious you want something - serious - done before they relent ...
