Following another "anonymous" complaint (that makes 2 so far this year) Liz Joyner of Bristol City Council told me she would call around this afternoon (Wednesday, 24th May) to check the garden and take photos.
I waited until 1700 hrs/5pm and nothing. No phone call or any other sign of her. My solicitor was with me from 1430~1530hrs and had to leave. He called back at 1625hrs and was annoyed at the "cavalier attitude" being shown by the council.
My solicitor pointed out that since 1995 the council had between 2~5 "anonymous complaints" and on each occasion a council visit proved the complaint groundless. Also, had only one photo per year over 20 years been taken the council had 20 photos of my garden. But taken into account the visits he estimated the council has upward of 160 photographs of my garden. Where are they? Also it was pointed out that council officials had to get my approval for their photographing which they never have asked for and on four occasions council officers looked around the [property and took photos while I was not present.
In future I am to record all conversations and refuse to give permission to take photographs.
20 years and every time "all clear" ~and 60 visits at least. THAT is harrassment.
