If a banned plant is not removed after notices given (and that will be to the owner of the house), then the council will send contractors and bill the owner for it. You should care, maybe you don't garden, but the stuff is a blight, you wouldn't like it much if the whole place got covered in it.	pctek (84)

I just can't really sit inside and watch someone else work, I like working :p but that's just me. Nothing in the lore of citizenship says you MUST help with the clearance of noxious weeds. It would be a nice gesture to help but you don't have to. As for the council chap, he probably didn't know the property was rented. Sure there are ways to check but someone probably filed a notice of the OMB growing, notified council who just sent a letter to the address. Advise the landlord and have a beer.	The Error Guy (14052)

Advise the landlord and have a beer.we get mailed addressed to the occupier. If its going to cost me money or involve working up a sweat I will ring the landlord. All part of the benefit of renting. Sure, if the landlord would like to pay me my hourly rate I will be more then happy to help, but that's just me. I quite often take a beer out to the landlord after he finishes mowing my lawns.	plod (107)

Seems they cared more as to whether or not they owned the land themselves than to simply send someone around for a chat with the manager / groundskeeper. They pulled the plant some months ago. It's back now in multiple places. Lesson learnt: Don't tell the council - just go in with some snippers, some full strength Roundup and paint the cut stems yourself. 3 minutes work for 1 person. Tell the council or managerment and it becomes days of communications and responsibility dodging from all sides before someone does an incompetent job of it.	Paul.Cov (425)

But I do not care to do work that has nothing to do with me and I really don't care about environmental issues.	DeSade (984)

Not sure how much Old Mans Beard there is but with all the posting etc. you have done you could of probably have just gone out and dealt with it.	mikebartnz (21)
