Is there a good reason you don't want it or is it just the principal of the fact that they have planted it on your land?

Threaten to sue them for criminal damage and trespass unless they remove it asap.

I am sorry you feel that way Hunter, having had a few really unpleasant things happen in my life I am learning to see the good in everything as best I can. Looking for the down side of everything is hard work and certainly not good for the soul.

I don't want it and it is my piece of land.
Knowing how daft the council is they might charge me for it if I don't kick up a fuss.

You are correct.
That piece of land is mine according to my land certificate but the council thought it was a verge.

If they've planted it on your land surely that's against the law?

Came back this afternoon to find a tree has been planted by the council in my garden where it borders the pavement and I don't want it.
I have phoned the council and they said they will investigate the matter but it could take up to 3 months.
I have asked about cutting it down and getting rid of it myself but they have stated that would be criminal damage.
I am just wondering if the council will pay the £200 a day rent I will require and if it will replace the turf it dug up.
