Anyone bought land from the council?

[Former Labour leader]

I had to have a tree removed adjacent to my land. It was on common land. Humugously complicated. I was lucky I was friendly with local councillors.
I dread to think how complicated your deal might be, and expensive.
Can I suggest you speak informally in the first instance to your local town councillors to get them onside before taking it any further?

You being a former Leader of the Labour Party you probably had it for nothing or they paid you to take it off their hands

I also had a tree problem, they weren’t interested so I just cut it down. I tried to buy the land it was on, the County Council agreed, the local Council blocked it, as it would set a precedent
