But then another tenant told them that the tiles had all been replaced on similar style homes many years ago because they had become excessively fragile.
A quick check of records, and it was found that the council had been billed for retiling those 3 homes but the work had not been done.
The council is now trying to get the original contractor to actually do the work.

Talking of councils wasting money a couple of years ago I had squirrels living in my loftspace. Their access was a poorly repaired edge of the roof so I complained.
Eventually they come and checked and indeed the nest was right behind the damage so they decided to fix it when they knew the squirrels were out.They scaffolded the eaves and did the work. A couple of week later they removed the scaffold. Literally the same day another company come out and said they needed to scaffold the whole house as I was getting a new roof hahahaha
