Thanks for starting again.
Makes as much sense as it did the first time though I’m afraid.
Most probably because the home owner, like many unscrupulous non-law abiding householders, couldn’t care less if the lowered kerb application would be refused, because she wasn’t going to apply to have the kerb lowered.
She knew there was a lamp post there before the work started.
How do you think she was going to ask for that to be removed without asking for a dropped kerb to be installed ?
Also …… It says in the story that she has already applied for the dropped kerb and the light to be moved after the drive was done (before it was a “news” story)
So.
Even after she has applied to have a dropped kerb installed, are you still suggesting that she’s not planning to apply have a dropped kerb installed ??
