Happy experience with council

I arrived back in Sydney to find a tree that was leaning over the house seemed to have moved.
It looked bad.
I had been leaning for a while and I had put off doing anything because to me it seemed I would need a big expensive crane to get at it.
A mate of a mate gave me a quote for only $1200
He would climb the tree...no crane.
Great.
But now getting council approval was before me.
I range the council but could not speak to the man who would ring me.
No return call so I went to the council.
He was out but I used my charm on the girls in the office.
Get some photos so I did.
Asked for the form and filled it in.
Waited 10 minutes and my new lady friend returned saying..I will ask scsi to come down later this afternoon...and we are waving the few.
I got back and 30 minutes later the council guy arrived.
"I am sorry I am probably being alarmist and I don't want to waste your time"
He took the opposite position saying.
"no this tree is dangerous and should come down as far as I am concerned you can take it out immediately I will do written vincent when I get back"
On Wednesday put it came
