Hi Gordon and all those LUG members in the Teignbridge 
area,

Yes, this sort of response is typical. I would not 
pay most of the Teignbridge DC employees in washers, let 
alone coins of the realm. They have elevated arrogance and 
obstruction to an art form. 

When someone objected to me 
installing a shed in my back garden, I made an FOI request 
for a copy of the letter of objection, only to be told that 
it was "council policy" that these matters were not to be 
disclosed. They sent an inspector round and he gave it the 
OK, but I was not allowed to know who had objected. This is 
the same council which employs a "community dance officer". 
What will these parasites waste our money on next?

Ray.

I just put a shed up in my garden without telling them. That seems to be the way 
fowards with Councills.
