A good way around this would be to offer to pay overtime to the groundsman and get an extra hours rolling for example, the council would need to invoice you for this.

I would think carefully about this as the council may use it as an excuse to either up rents or reduce ground staff time as a cost saving which you would have to then pay for.

May be better to have a quite word to the groundsman directly

Yeah I love our crank start. I particularly enjoy asking blokes who've brought their Mrs down to try getting it going, laughing at them as they fail then getting it going first time as they've warmed it up for me while they try make up some feeble excuse to their significant other as to why they couldn't do it.

Very good point that Buzz, never let the council know that you have surplus funds for anything and the guys doing the work will probably make more money out of it if it's done directly.

Ah brings back the classic excuse "Ok I couldn't get it going but I warmed it up for you"
