We live at the bottom of small slope with two properties behind us. A council van reveresed up to collect bins and veered into my wall fence coming back down. I had no idea until my husband seen the commotion driving past on his lunch break. It was totally stuck against my fence post as there is a slight embankment between fence and road. I went out to take talk to them and at this point they were trying to tow it forward straight into my fence! Luckily we have builders along the road and they came and forklifted the front of the van away. But then the council employees reveresed it into my wall manoeveribg it! These things happen so i wasn't annoyed it happened, but the man that had come from the council offices to assess the situation came to knock once they managed to get it out and said no damage except some gravel next to the wall had been churned up.
After the council guys were away the forklift driver knocked yo say had I seen the damage and he showed me. They hit the wall and took a chunk out a coping stone while also separating two coping stones from the wall which need concreting back on.
I'm not bothered if there was damage but AIBU to think the council man should have come clean to say the wall had been slightly damaged and needed a quick fix? Now I'm gonna have to call them and try sort it out.
