:lol: Sorry I do feel I have to defend the Council seeings as I work for one!! Unfortunately we can never do anything right - whatever time of year, type of equipment, day, time, etc, someone will always complain so you might as well fit it into your schedule and get on with it, it's got to be done sometime and it's gonna be noisy whenever and however it's done :wink: I hope there aren't any nesting birds in what they are chopping about though :shock:
