    Let me just update. I called the council and the "pillar", pole, post is gone!
    Don't know what it was but I don't care much now when is gone :)

    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    It's currently in the council's safe storage. They call it their pole vault.

    How do you know it will not slink back in the night? Whatever you do, don't feed it or you will never get rid of it.

    Why would the council/whoever temporarily park a pole on someone's drive? These and many other questions...

    Have you moved in yet, Amanda_Cm?

    Tune in for another thrilling episode when there is one.

    Maybe it was dealt with by pest control - they decided it was a Pole cat.

    Pinklady21! I do hope you are not suggesting Poles, cats nor indeed polecats are a pest? :eek:

    Well, that was a let down, wasn't it? Possibly literally; perhaps it has merely gone underground as per #13. :D

    Thanks for the update but I was really wanting to see what we were dealing with here.

    They seek it here, they seek it there,
    The council seeks it everywhere.
    Is it in heaven or down in a hole,
    That damned, elusive pillar/pole?
