Thank you Casey council

[holdenhead]

Hi all,

My local council (casey) has landed me a heap of work lately. They have sent out letters to all vacant land owners reminding people to get their blocks mowed. It reads as if the block is in a bad way and urgently needs mowing. I received one of these letters and I assure you my block is not long. I mow it every 10 days or so, It almost looks like parkland.
We got our letter on Tuesday. Wednesday I received 4 phone calls for vacant blocks. Quoted all on Wednesday morning about 6 am. At 8 am I got another 2 calls. Quoted them Wednesday arvo. Thursday 2 more calls and then today another 3. Thats 11 calls to mow blocks of land. Some of the blocks are overgrown but most are not bad at all. Of the 4 overgrown ones only one has accepted. And out of the other 7, 5 have booked cuts for next week. I would like to thank Casey council for all this work.

Cheers Rick

I would love to see the letter... does it look as though it is from council?

I might try a new marketing angle (vacant blocks and houses)

My gf got one from her council for a vacant block up country, yes its council letter head, and just basically says you must cut to a certain height, by a certain date, or you get a fine. Another one I saw a couple of years ago, also said if you dont do it, we do it, but charge you mega dollars.

i don't think they actually say this just people assume and lets face it if the council rings a contractor and asks them to do the work most will charge as much as they think they can
