We got a nasty letter about a tree overhanging the footpath - if we hadn't fixed it within a week they'd deport us to Tasmania or something.

There seems to be something about councils that attracts failed desktop dictators. It's a nation wide thing.
We now have to book in hard rubbish (no more regular collections). You book in a date, pile your rubbish on the kerb, and then they show up some time in the next fortnight.
If there's anything they don't want, you get a letter threatening you with a fine if you don't remove it within 24 hours. Despite it taking them 2 weeks to show up...
