I had a fight with my local council. It went to my MP, who supported me, but they ignored him. It eventually got to the legal action stage where they threatened me with their costs if I lost. They backed down at the last moment.
I'd never met such inertia and determination to avoid their responsibility. If they'd put half as much time and money into doing the right thing, it could have been resolved much quicker and at lower cost.
Perhaps I should have approached the media, which could have been interesting, as I worked for the same council at the time.
